Well, I have the Sebring 62 LP also, and that one might be in stereo... I 
was 17 in the summer of 58... I should drag out my pix from the USGP in 62 
and 63 -- Phil Hill, Graham Hill, Jimmy Clark many others at Watkins Glen, 
roaming around in the team garages at midnight. Bring on the pix.

Bill,
I was 3 that year; in the same box of slides there is a picture of my
two sisters and me standing next to my Dad's TR-3. And I remember that
record, and my parents playing it. Down the line I'll be posting shots
from '59 and '60, a couple of Moss chatting in the pits.

Bruce,

Unfortunately in '59 my Dad missed more than he caught- these two are
the only ones that don't show the back half of the car disappearing out
of the frame!
