Am I the only one that gets a kick out of it when they put Linda on the P.A. at the U.S. Nationals?

I've had the opportunity in recent years to sit at the table with Linda and everything said about her is true. She's a true lady with a ability tor remember names and faces.

When I was at Indy in 1979, Linda Vaughn and another Hurst girl were socializing with the fans. That was the first time I saw Ms. Vaughn in person. As you can tell by the smirk on my face, it was a great day for me. I didn't get the name of the other woman but she and Linda were great representatives of Hurst.

I've met her several times and she always remembered my name even if it was years apart.She is a very special person.
