P.L.Newman - a bit premature, but . . .
Paul Newman is unwell.
On Wednesday, August 13, 2008, Lime Rock Park was closed down for an hour and half today to honor Paul Newman. He was attended by his family, close friends, Skip Barber, mechanics on his race team, and those who happened to be at the track. PLN toured the track in his Corvette race car with his Buick V8 powered Volvo station wagon following. He had come to say goodbye. Diagnosed with terminal cancer he is not expected to live beyond September. Race driver, actor, humanitarian, family man and friend, they did not come any better. See: Wikipedia entry.

Very moving...Paul has certainly crammed a lot of life into one life and given so many people so much enjoyment...heres hoping his passing is peaceful.
This somehow feels appropriate (to me)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYqwY...eature=related Last edited by 275 GTB-4; 30 Aug 2008 at 03:32. |
