<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wish Jack had been able to step back from the
cockpit and redirect that energy solely towards the preparation and tuning
aspects of the sport that he was so good at, and that in the long run is equally
if not more essential to success than the driving. Don't know what it takes to
be able to do that, especially when one is talented at both. There is much to be
said for the division of labor, and I myself find it a very difficult
principle to accept. Yet the success of the species (if one can call it that) is
dependent on this principle. Hope this observation is not taken as criticism,
but rather as constructive observation. Many if not most athletes it seems are
not capable of stepping down gracefully from positions of glory, and the
consequences are often painful if not tragic.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Like many others I was shocked and saddened when I heard about Jack
Drews.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I never had the opportunity to meet Jack in person, but did
contact him once by phone to order a set of his front axles. When
the axles arrived I was thoroughly impressed by the dimensional accuracy
and finish of these stronger after market components, which I quickly
installed on my TR-6 autocrosser. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Many of us are driving much safer Triumphs because of the
technical support and stronger parts that Jack made available so I
definitely want to express my gratitude for all of Jack's excellent
contributions.</DIV>
