Paul Daniels wrote a sympathy message

“Tressa, You have my most heartfelt sympathy. I am 99% sure that this is the Hackathon/"Hack" that was my trainer for JB Hunt back in 1992-ish We drove all over the country and then I never saw him again but I also never forgot him. He had a great sense of humor and was just a super cool great guy to drive with. If I have the right guy, I stayed at your house and rode your horse. You were all wonderful to me. If this is not the same guy then you'll think I'm crazy. Sorry! Sincerely, Paul Daniels”
