: at the pit gate every night. I

: tell you that I always admired the
: way that you competed. You were a
: clean driver and a class man that I
: respected. I hope this finds you
: well.
:
: Do you ever have contact with any of
: the other drivers and owners form
: Freeport in the 60's? My parents
: started taking me to the races in
: 1952 when I was three and I didn't
: miss more than one or two nights
: until I left for college and then I
: came back and worked for Billie
: Kedenburg (Buttafuoco) until I got
: married and moved to Rochester.
