The story of Charlie Woit has come up and let me put in my feedback. Charlie Woit was like an older brother to me. He used to be a mechanic at my father's Chevron station, first at Sunset and Curson in Hollywood, then at Beverly and Crescent Heights just outside of Beverly Hills. Charlie in those days had a girlfriend by name of Pat Byrd and they lasted a long time, Charlie in those days had a light blue Simca that he totally rebuilt and would use to race at Mulholland Drive on weekends. The car had only one seat, no windows, It was as light as you can possibly make a car be. I was devastated when I heard that he had an accident in his corvette near Magic Mountain in Valencia and had lost his life. My father at the request of Charlie's mother attended his funeral. Charlie had more scars in his face than anybody I knew and I still remember as if it was just yesterday when I last saw him.
