[Fot] Fwd: Pit Stop 1950 vs 2013

[Bill Tobin]

Five years ago at the Indy Brickyard Invitational (I sent them a check 
for $795 and they invited me!) I had the distinct pleasure of buying 
lunch for her and a friend of mine who knew her. What a gracious 
intelligent humorous and wonderful person she was. We had a great chat 
and then she said sorry guys I have to go do an interview.

Great memory. Also the best $795 I ever spent!

Cheers Bill
