[doc] Re: JZD Memorial?

["nick12dmc" <Tammyfew@xxxxxxx>]

I think this a very touchy subject and best left alone.
 I don't think John's family would want a lot of fuss. 
What ever the rights and wrongs of the whole thing. We all have 
certain rights. We are all innocent until proven guilty.
We have all seen what goverment and media spin can convience people 
to believe.  
At the end of the day I defer to Neal as he was there and I was 8 
years old.
 Maybe its best we all remember John Z. in our own private way be it 
a drive along a favorite road, or quiet toast at a aproprate time. 
 Best Regards
Nick H (I will be cracking a cold bottle of suds for John at Le Mans)
