<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Nice article. I didn't think of Jack's recent surgery when I heard about the accident, I always saw Jack as being so healthy, I doubted the blackout theory, but now I'm not so sure. I remember he was a bit nervous about the surgery when I talked with him about the engine he was building for me. <div><br></div><div>I like the last line of the article--" he was a very down to earth person." That's probably ultimate praise in the midwest </div><div><br></div><div>I remember driving into Geneseo and thinking the town could be a movie set for 1950's small town america. When I pulled up with Nero in tow, Jack was sitting in his porch swing, enjoying a cigar. Later at a track somewhere I gave him one of the pre-embargo cuban cigars I hoard and it seemed he didn't know whether to smoke it or mount it on a wall. I know Jack was a sophisticated guy who had been around. He chose to live in a small town where kids can ride their bikes to the park. He chose to have a "full cleveland" leisure suit in his closet--tanned rested and ready for the Columbia River Classic vintage party. He chose to be a "very down to earth" person. Nice guy. </div><div><br><div><div>On Aug 19, 2008, at 8:31 AM, <a href="mailto:BillDentin@aol.com">BillDentin@aol.com</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><font face="arial,helvetica"><font color="#400040" size="3" ptsize="12" family="SERIF" face="Baskerville Old Face" lang="0"> <a href="http://www.mlive.com/autoracing/index.ssf/2008/08/racing_community_mourns_loss_o.html">Click here: Racing community mourns loss of Jack Drews - Auto Racing - MLive.com</a></font><font color="#400040" back="#ffffff" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" size="3" ptsize="12" family="SERIF" face="Baskerville Old Face" lang="0"> <br> <br> Amici...<br> <br> There is a very nice article concerning Jack Drews' passing in this morning's Grand Rapids newspaper. As you can imagine reference to the tragic accident was sketchy on Sunday due to scant details. But they are blessed with a serious motorsports reporter in Grand Rapids, and he stayed on the story until he could get details. Good for him.<br> <br> Bill Dentinger<br> </font><br><br><br>**************<br>It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.
