[Tigers] End of an era

[David Sosna]

Thank you, Andy.  I didn't know.
A few years back, I was at the Coronado Vintage Races in San 
Diego--can't remember if I still had my Tiger (mandatory Tiger 
content--grin). I was closely examining an Alta racer and when I looked 
up, the other guy standing by the car and having a conversation with 
it's owner was--Phil Hill.
I decided that, though he was a public figure, rather than pester him, 
I'd just let him enjoy being a car guy, so I finished looking at the 
Alta and wandered off to check on the Ferrari down the way.
I'd forgotten that until I saw your post.  That was a pretty good day, 
so thanks for reminding me of it.
Best Regards
David Sosna

Phil Hill, the first American F1 champion (1961) has passed away due to complications from Parkinson's Disease.  I just thought you all might like to know.
