Yeah, do whatever you want, but it's not going to bring the guy back. And it won't mean anything to anybody but yourself. Kyle Langston

Kyle, I'm not sure if that's a cold, heartless response or just your way of saying you deal with Jeff Krosnoff's death in more of a detached way than others. No, it will not bring him back. Yes, Ross is doing it in his own way, as a tribute. For what it's worth, that kind of tribute makes some of us pay respect to Jeff and his family in OUR own way. Knowing others honor his memory is the first realization that the racing community and fans exist and have a voice to raise in memory of any driver who dies in an accident such as this one. As for my tribute? A silent moment and prayer for his family. Kyle Stevens

Even Kyle Langston appears to be dealing with it in his own way. That's fine, let's just respect each others way of dealing with an issue we will all have to face numerious times in our life before the one final time. Following are excerpts from a news release dated July 17, 1996, by IndyCar PPG Indy Car World Series: All condolences for Jeff Krosnoff's family or team may be mailed to Arciero/Wells Racing 30212 Tomas Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif. 92688 DETROIT -- ...Memorial service arrangements were announced Wednesday for ... volunteer course marshall, (who) died in an accident at Sunday's Molson Indy Toronto....

Wow, you are truly lost. Sometimes I wonder why people do such stupid things. Then I remember that most people are stupid. Then it makes sense. Chris

No disrespect intended, it's just I couldn't make out KL's intent with his post, but yes perhaps he is dealing with it in that way. My response was in no way meant to be derogatory. I would never want to tread on anyone's approach to handling such realities, I merely wanted to say Ross and his tribute should make us think how we would deal with it in our own way, and that it is good to see such posts because it reminds us all that there is a caring community of fans out in the world. As for the information about the memorial services in your post, thank you for taking the time to include it here in this newsgroup... KS

Should I chalk this one up to dealing with it in your own way? (Please see previous posts). I'm trying hard to keep the respect for this kind of comment foremost in my mind, since this is a free world (and newsgroup). No disrespect, Billy, just wonder and amazement. Kyle S.

Ouch, Well just shows that I'm not the only..... Ah hell, nah, I think I'll stay out of this one for a while, all things considered. Suffice it to say, Jeff, and all who were lost this past weekend will be missed by many. :( Ron R II *********************************************** ** Keep the shiny side up & the hammer down ** *** Ron "Cougar" Riekens II *** **** Owner - Driver **** **** Medallion Motorsports/*** Photography **** *** NASS ARCA Series #96 Pontiac *** ***********************************************
