R I P Andy Granatelli

[olredalert]

----I met Mr. Granatelli in the Florida keys. He rented the house next to my Moms for a week. Flew in on the STP Corporate jet. The one with all the STP stickers all over it.The evening of the day he flew in his whole tribe was up at the local watering hole. I thought I'd be a big shot and buy them all a round. Unfortunately, I didn't have the jack to pay for it, and that really didnt impress my date for the evening!!!
----The next day he saw me over on my Moms dock working on my old Donzi and came over and kibitzed for awhile. A bit later someone called over from his house and said lunch was ready and that was that. He seemed like a really regular guy. Of course, I lied and told him I used STP in everything I owned. He asked me where the stickers were. I can't remember what I came up with then........RIP, Andy,........Bill S
