[Healeys] Now: Stuart Turner.

[Mr. Bill]

What Patrick failed to mention was Stuart's rise from a humble rally 
co-driver to manager of BMC's Competitions Department and on to Director 
of Motorsports for Ford in Europe before his retirement.  I, too, had 
the pleasure of hearing him speak at the 2002 50th Anniversary 
Celebration, Wokefield Park, U.K. 

This is the first time I've ever seen Patrick yell.  (All capital 
letters in an email.)  Please take my word that that was an 
understatement!  I was told at the time that his normal speaking fee was 
#4,000 (Now $6,920 US) but that he spoke gratis for the Healey Club.  I 
would hope the AHC of A got a break for their airfare ;-)
