Hey Paul - this is one guy you want to believe 100% of what he says (hey, he's an ex newspaper man - he wouldn't lie) and about 80% of what your eyes see.

I met Bill at the wedding of one of my closest friends (since the fourth grade) and he married a sister of Bill's wife. Sez Bill to me - hey, if you wanna go racing, let me know, I can get passes. What a spin that was for years. Going to Gurneys shop any time, watching AJ Foyt being turned away at the first NASCAR race at Riverside because he had left his Gate-paddock-garage-pit-hot pit-driver" passes at the Mission Inn. Think ol AJ could blow up? Shoulda seen that!! "I'm sorry Mr. Foyt, we have our orders - - - " Oh watching Mario Andretti's single twin brother Aldo (they looked real close then) setting up dates with Miss Fireplug and her Court for after the races singing their programs "Mario" as Mario is on the course setting a record.

Then there was the time Willi was moving into my studio apt. I was starving and going to school and he showed up at the right time to split the rent. We had ground rules - even though he was working 24/7 at the HerEx he still found time to share - but NOT on a school night - OK? I gotta study. Well, first night there here was the "candle in the window" that sez "I'm busy" and now I am faced with a dilemma - do I try to study outside on a winters day or or or - so I went in - agreements are agreements. He didn't miss a beat and I set up shop in our no room apt at my desk and read the same paragraph in Macro Economics 25 times while I listened to a chorus of Judy singing Hallelujah emanating from his sleeping bag. I still don't recall what I was reading but know it was many times.

Judy hops out of the sack, Bill, the consummate gentleman does the intros and he took her home.

There was also the time he bought a full on roller bearing B Sports Racer Porsche engine from Charlie Kulman who at the last moment opted for a BD Lotus engine and Willi dropped it in, of course, his street car. Why not. That thing could get sideways down our alley.

Yeah, Paul - and if those adventures were placed on a 24 hour clock - that was the first five minutes. Its where I learned, from Curtis Turner who Willie introduced me to at Gurneys, that when he said "a new party was starting in 10 minuets" he meant it. I can not imagine much has changed, except he found religion with his new wife but as for knowing this or that - whatta hoot.

Hey Dave: Believe me ... in my 70 years here on earth, I've generally
found the the high maintenance, slightly wacky women are the most
challenging and fun. I would never marry one, but they usually could perform
more tricks on a king size bed than a tribe of 20 monkeys could do on a 30
foot clothes line! And I've got the scars to prove it.


Yer (older but wiser) pal, Ferrari Bubba

Never believe a word you say but love to read 'em - Willi, you're got a rare talent, consider a book. Or even a compendium of your posts.
