Annie Soisbault - Rest In Peace

French racing pioneer, Annie Soisbault, passed away on September 18, 2012. She was 78. A most incredible woman, Wimbledon Juniors Champ, TR Works driver, Ferrari 904 and 906 rally driver (the only woman to race in one), she had a quick wit and powerful presence, and a kind and generous soul.  She graciously agreed to be our guest of honor at the ceremony to mark the grave of Helle Nice on September 4, 2010. She will be greatly missed by countless friends all over the world, and the Foundation and its friends eternally grateful for her support and friendship. She was buried in Pere Lachaise in Paris on September 24, 2012.  Godspeed, Annie....I will miss you, my friend. ~Sheryl
