Subject: My Brush with Greatness
I have been a Sports Car
Club of America volunteer for 34 years.
One time, at Laguna Seca, Paul Newman
came to the volunteer party at the end of the day.
He did not give autographs to anyone - but he made an exception for us
because he knew
we loved auto racing as much as he did.
There was a big, end of season, race coming up and Paul asked if any of
the volunteers were
planning on going and would like to fly on his private plane to the
event. My friend was planning
on attending so I spoke up for her. Long story short, I arranged
with his personal assistant for
my friend to fly to the event in Georgia on Paul Newman's private plane.
He was a very decent man, very shy and did some great things with his
Newman's Own charity.
