OK, I'll play. Looking for my wife: attorney, child of labor/poverty activist, mother of adopted immigrant, terrified of current regime, poet, English undergrad, fierce, whip-smart, made in Detroit.

I was working F&C at Road Atlanta's turn 11 (the SCCA Run-offs) & felt a tap on my shoulder-it was PLN & the club president. Newman wanted a look at the racing line. Privilege much? He was super polite, took direction well, and stayed out of the friggin way. Ran into him at other races-very likable.
