Andy Carpenter
I have received the following email from Andrew's younger sister Judith:-
"I am Andy's youngest sister. I am in the process of building a website for friends and family to contribute stories, memories, photos etc of Andy and wondered if you would be able to help me to spread the word around that the site will be up and running probably by the end of this week. I don't intend to include a lot of the accident information, I just thought it would be a good way for the family to hear from people who knew him, either from work, marshalling or from Eastbourne. The address will be: www.andycarpenter.co.uk" Therefore if you have any annidotes from the past, please can you forward them to Judith at judy.carpenter@btinternet.com. Cheers Steve |

Unfortunately I never got the chance to meet Andy but
he was obviously dedicated to motorsport or else he would not have been where he was when "it" happened. That fact alone makes him a friend of mine, just as I view all other marshals as friends to turn to in "the hour of need". Sorry I could not be more eloquent but "Once a Marshal, Always a Marshal" I wish Judith every success with her website and hope it provides what she is looking for, whatever that may be. best regards from a fellow marshal. |

A lovely site - it's good to see a celebration of a life coming from the mourning of death.
Folks, there's a serious shortage of photos of Andy marshalling. His sister has worked very hard on this, but there's only so much she can do! I know you lot - you hoard everything - so please dig into the photo albums and see what you can find! Last edited by EvilPumpkin; 24 Feb 2003 at 13:48. |

R.I.P. Andy and JDD
Remembering Andy and JDD today, these pictures of JDDs brilliant car collection in a shed on his farm at the former Oran Park Circuit were posted recently downunder.
John Dawson-Damer is standing beside Lotus #26... So sad that on that day we lost two Motorsport enthusiasts... Yours in Motorsport, Mick NSW Australia |
