Sure I'll give it a try in memory of Paul!

If ya'll don't mind a long post here's my PN story-went to Road Atlanta for the first time in April '81 to watch the races and get a feel for the track as I was starting to road race cars. Standing in one particular race trailer was Mr. Newman himself. :D He saw me and invited me to chat with him until he was summoned to get ready to race. We talked for about thirty minutes and at one point Paul told me how nice it was of me to talk to him like we were old friends and not some crazy fan that would put him on a pedestal. When he was called for to get ready he shook my hand and again said it was nice talking to me. At this point I asked if I could take some pics and he responded with a "I don't mind if someone is polite about it. it's when they stick the camera in my face I don't like". Got some pics,thanked him,and he again shook my hand and again said it was nice talking to me. A woman not looking where she was walking ran into him and not looking up she said excuse me. Then she saw it was Mr. Newman and she froze blocking his exit path. All she could do was point at the camera which was around her husband's neck and then point at Paul. Paul looked at me and said "See what I mean?" Paul finally got away from her but her husband chased Paul down sticking the camera in his face. Mr. Newman put his finger in this guy's face,looked at me and said "This is what I'm talking about" and went into the garqge. This fellow comes over to me because I'm laughing really hard and tells me "Gee he's rude". And I told him I just finished talking to Paul for a long time and if someone is polite he doesn't mind getting his picture taken. It's rude people he doesn't care for.

RIP P. Loquesto Newman :cry:
