I have to agree, Jim.  I am a big Mario fan, but Hill was the only 
American-born World Champion.

I thought maybe Michael would show well when he went over there, but that 
sure didn't happen -- for whatever reason.  That didn't break my heart 
because, as much as I am a fan of Mario, I think Michael is an a-hole after 
a couple of personal experiences.

We heard he had gone into hospital Sunday as we watched F-1 coverage from
Valencia. I watched him race at the Glen back in the late 50s and early 60s.
I got to meet him, chat a little, and got his autograph in 2002 in Santa Fe
and will treasure that experience always. The only American born world
champion and a great gentleman.

Godspeed, Phil...

Cheers!!
Jim
