They were getting ready for their annual dyeing of eggs for Easter at the home of their mother, our daughter Katie, in Corona.

When I left Miami to start my new job as managing editor of the Press-Telegram, I was excited about seeing my first Grand Prix of Long Beach on city streets. That is, until I saw our publisher, Dan Ridder, in his office and asked him when he was going to the race. “Oh, I don’t go,” Dan replied. “It’s boring, like watching paint dry.”Dan was right about a lot of things — but not the Grand Prix. I went to my first race in 1979 and saw Long Beach alive like I had never seen it.
