I've still got a snap shot of Paul giving me a birthday cake at Limerock =
that he just took from the trunk of his car on a Trans-Am weekend when I =
was with Nissan. Neat guy, fast driver and just a wonderful guy to hang =
with.=20
I might add that Jan Alexander repeated this action with a birthday cake =
for me at Watkins Glen, and she is pretty cute too.

I met PL at a driver's meeting @ LRP too. He was there in 99 or so at =
a National. Showed up at the driver's meeting just like the rest of us. =
Mostly listened to the Stewards say the same old stuff with about the =
same amount of attention. Making the same small race talk with everyone =
around him. Amazing guy.=20
Later I was up in the tower watching a race (FF's I think) and he =
wandered up. We made a few comments about a few great pass attempts and =
successes going on.=20
A racer just like the rest of us. Just with a different day job.=20

I met Paul at a driver's meeting at an SCCA race at Lime Rock some =
years ago. That's when he agreed to be an honerable FOT member. He was =
very aproachable at the track as long as the subject was racing. My =
wife started up a conversation with him later that day and called him =
Mr. Newman. He replied "Call me Paul". His wife and daughter were =
often up in the tower watching his race and were also very approachable. =
He was still racing SCCA last year, but was doing regional races =
instead of the National races that he did in previous years. He was =
still winning, too. It was at an SCCA regional race in 2007 that =
Barbara Walters went for a track ride with Paul around Lime Rock. She =
was doing a story about living a long life. =20
