On the day of the accident, I was working with a new friend, Andy Carpenter. I say that because it was the first day that we had ever met and worked together, but like all marshals, we got on very well that day, exchanging stories about events we had individually done. In particular that day, I was fascinated by Andy's love of Le Mans and the 24 Hour race, an event I had been to as a spectator in the 1980's and was planning to marshal at in 2001.
A year later, I met Ernie Nagamatsu, an American who had been driving at Goodwood over the weekend of the accident, and learnt how profoundly he had felt touched by events that he wrote a tribute to Andy and I. With his permission, I have a link below to both his letter of the Goodwood weekend, and the Tribute. I feel honoured to dedicate the following pages to the memory of Andy, a friend to many people.

Unfortunately, Andy did not survive in the aftermath of the
