Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Meeting the legend Capt Clyde

[Steve Jenkins (steve]

I'll jump on the Clyde fan-wagon.

I've had the pleasure of hanging out with "The Captain" on multiple
occasions, including Indy 2000, a BBQ at my house in his honor, and most
recently, a couple years ago when I was going through a difficult personal
situation. Clyde, with enough seniority to do so, decided that he was
piloting the next US Air flight to Seattle. He flew out here, took me to
dinner, offered sympathy and sage advice, then flew off into the sunset the
following day.

Don't let his penchant for inciting flame wars fool you. cLyDe iS oNe oF tHe
GoOd gUys... He can be my wing-man any time. :)

I met Clyde years ago at the Indy F1.  Great guy, don't judge the man  by
the 
emails, or at least some of them!

Hi  Britt

Sounds like a great evening.

I sometimes get guilt pangs  because I once upon a time wrote rather  
harsh things about Clyde -  well this is the web isn't it, and we do  
these things on occasion  -  but meeting up at the British GP sounds  
like an excellent  idea and I am certainly up for it. The first round's  
on  me!

Best

Francis
