[Healeys] Bill Barnett

[E.A. Driver]

I wish to echo Rich's comments, I had a lengthy sets of correspondence 
with Bill.  The last of our
correspondence dealt with the purchase of of Lempert c&p gear set which 
he was considering
for his BT7. He was truly fired up to have the c&p installed.  Somewhere 
along the line
I owed him a couple of pints - sorry Bill!   You and the great e-mails 
will be missed!
