This news has reached several of my lists, so I don't want the Healey list to 
miss it.

This morning at 10:30 am, at the hospital in Monterey, where he had just been 
an honored guest at the Monterey HIstoric Automobile Races, Phil Hill passed 
away from complications of Parkinson's Disease. Phil was a true American hero 
in motorsports, and the first American to be the Formula 1 World Champion, 
driving a Ferrari.   I'm grateful that I had the chance to see his victory laps 
at the end of a long and courageous life, when he was driven around Laguna Seca 
at the Monterey Historics in the Alfa in which he won the Pebble Beach races
