I first met Jeff at Spring Training in Homestead and was tremendously 
impressed with his positive attitude, knowing glory was a long way off in 
a development program, but so happy to be racing in IndyCar. 
Tracy used to stand behind -- not in -- his pit during practice. I saw it 
as a sign of consideration for the crew and the work they had to do.
Heather Hanley, in charge of team PR, gave me the latest slides of Jeff 
and his car Saturday morning at Toronto. Sunday afternoon she was reading 
the team's statement at the press conference announcing that Jeff and 
Gary Avrin had died.
