Default Re: Carroll Shelby - The Authorized Biography

Jeff, when Mr. Shelby walked over to meet Xplantdad's daughter Holly at B-J '07 he put his hand on Holly's shoulder and said, in his Texas drawl, "Hi Holly, which one?" (Which organ did you have replaced.) It was like two old war veterans meeting--two old war vets who speak a common language from common experience. I'm a bit of a sentimental type and it was touching to see the two of them interact for a couple of minutes. That's so sad about your son Jeff. I don't know what I would do...

Tibor would call me a "bleeding heart." In this case, yes.

Bill it was cool.

Also, When Holly was 6 months old, we got a poster from Carroll autographed with a note. His neighbor was a friend of my oldest sister. They started the chili cookoffs together... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
