PS, had Ray gone round the bend at that point..? I used to take tequila
lessons from his bartender, Rick. Ten years on, I have very nearly recovered.

No, he was still fairly young at that point (this is unabashed hindsight,
in 1973
I would have considered him a geezer).

Interesting job, that.

I was really into racing then. One day in early July the Champion Spark Plugs
jet came through for service on it's way to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
It was also a G II. The pilot and crew offered to take me to the race, but I
declined. I didn't have a passport and would have had to leave the next day.
Splendid opportunity, but I was young and ignorant.
