Ah, jeez, Spaw...I clicked on the picture with the article and found the following...made me cry all over, again, what a class act and so well-loved, as well as so loving. I am really glad he got that last lap:

Lime Rock Park was closed down for an hour and half today to honor Paul Newman. He was attended by his family, close friends, Skip Barber, mechanics on his race team, and those who happened to be at the track. PLN toured the track in his Corvette race car with his Buick V8 powered Volvo station wagon following. He had come to say goodbye. Diagnosed with terminal cancer he is not expected to live beyond September. Race driver, actor, humanitarian, family man and friend, they did not come any better."
