    I was lucky enough to meet her at the first Porsche Rennsport Reunion

    at Lime Rock Park in 2001. Got her autograph along with fifteen other

    famous Porsche drivers on the event poster. She was quite a lady along

    with Donna Mae Mimms for you old timers.

    Sad, she was a very nice person, a great driver and a wonderful writer.

    I met her at the Chicago Auto Show, actually, in the hotel lobby a few years ago. She spoke to everyone like she knew them forever. I was in awe. The next day at the show she was honored by Ford at their display and she was mobbed by all the other media there. You could tell even the jaded reporters respected her to the max.

    Somebody I know carried on a correspondence with her. Among other things, she was an amateur artist and ultimately sent some original artwork with her correspondences. A renaissance woman.
