Hello

Hello Rhonda

I drove out to Tulsa from New Jersey in 2006.
I stayed at your parents home for a week, I went out to meet Jim, He taught me the matchup. Your mom Leroi was so nice, She told me so many nice stories,

Jim and I sat at a table near the kitchen and worked races'
When I would get a race correctly working with your dad she would
make me feel so happy, Jim would call me into one of the rooms down the hall,' He had it set up like a library and we would work some races in there
on the computer

I have so many nice memories, Not just about learning about racing
from Jim, but also making 2 new friends, We had some life-changing for me talks each evening when Just Jim and I and the little dog, went for his walk.

One evening Howard Sartin called, I got to sit in on a magic conversation
between two of my idols

Tell LeRoi I said hello

Bill Varone
"Binder"

BTW Jim is the one who came up with that nickname
He would ask Richie P "How is Bin - Der"
