Like Holly, I own a Healey (2, actually), and for a while I was a partner in a 
flying club that owned the type of plane 
he was killed in: a V-tailed Bonanza (aka 'fork-tailed doctor killer').  Note: 
it wasn't the plane's fault.

That's where the similarities stop; unlike Holly I have no talent or charisma.
