“Dear Bret, Betsy & Patricia, This is Christina Clayton, Jim's Daughter. I am so so sorry for your loss and I have been searching for him,Bret and Betsy for years. I found out gram passed away when my letters to her were returned back in 2001 and my heart was broken so my search for you all never turned up anything till I was at the Speed Week(racing event in Wendover, NV) looked up dad's name to see if he was there and that is when I found this. Please contact me [email protected] xox”
