Terence, I read your article and thought it was terrific. I did not know John Hettinger, personally, but I knew about all his good works. It's a shame that we don't have more people like him and you in the game we call "racing." See you at the sales.

Terence, Thanks so much for this wonderful tribute to an exceptional man. Just think how many problems in racing would disappear if we continue to follow his lead? Thanks again for putting it so well.

We met on a train. The steward was rude. He seated me in the dining car with John Hettinger and the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Betty took my breath away. That was thirty years ago. I was on my way to New York to try out for a movie. He was urbane, charming, and talked of racehorses and sporting dogs. I barely looked at Betty. She was too beautiful. I never got the part in the movie, but I returned to South Carolina with an image of refinement, and a dedication to the pursuit of racing horses. I have a few friends, with whom I share a martini, or a ride across plantation country in the fall. I have told them about John Hettinger.
