SPECIAL
INTEREST
By Larry Woodworth
John was a lawyer for the
printing company where I
worked. He and I weren't
near the same age, but we
had lots in common when it
comes to cars and especially
Porsches. He had been a car
guy as a young man, and
successful in his chosen oc-
cupation. One of his friends
had a father in the car busi-
ness selling Packards. The
friend became like many of
us, quite interested in au-
tomobiles and particularly
foreign race cars. In the mid
1950's, he bought a Porsche
RS 550 and raced it here and
in Europe with good results.
