    KATHERINE LEGGE (WITH ALEX TAGLIANI, A.J. ALLMENDINGER AND JUSTIN WILSON) IN 2006. I got an email the other day from a guy who writes me frequently, and this is what he said: "Now that Danica’s gone, who is going to replace her?" So I wrote back and said: "I hope whoever it is turns out to be is a really good racing driver – as good a driver as she’s been." And he wrote back and said, "No! What I mean is, who is going to replace her as a woman racing driver?" I didn’t continue the debate because I...

  • The best Christmas driving home song — ever

    Updated: 2011-12-21 05:36:31
    Every time I hear the Best Christmas Driving Home Song Ever, I think of my old friend John Chatsko. In 1962, when I was a cub reporter on the Orillia Packet & Times, I lived at Mrs. Brown’s boarding house on Nottawasaga Street with John and about six other guys – printer Reg LaHay and bush pilot Elliott Pitt, among them.
