Wish I could be there! John's a great guy, very approachable, with a ton of
terrific anecdotes. I met him at the "Rendezvous 2001" Austin Healey meet
in Grants Pass, OR last year, and we spent several hours talking Sprites
and racing and whatever else came to mind. My favorite picture from that
whole week is one of John sitting on the back of my Sprite sipping a beer.
I saw him again at the "OpenRoads 2002" international Healey meet at Lake
Tahoe this year, but everybody was so busy we didn't get much chance to
chat. I'm not going to be able to go to the ELVF, but be sure to tell John
I said "Hi".

PS - I highly recommend his book, "Spritely Years".
