RIP Jean Lindamood Jennings

[vince]

I spent very important 'beer' money every month on the newly introduced 'Automobile' magazine while I was still in college. I quickly became a fan of Jean Lindamood and her great sense of humor. She wrote about about her beloved Fjord e9 in several issues way before I bought mine. I believe she had to throw in the towel because it had too much rust. She was a pioneer.

Very sad to hear she has passed.

Yes, she had a way with words, describing every automotive interaction as an adventure and her descriptions of the personalities who were along for the ride were priceless.

I remember reading her columns... She really had a way with words.

Good call, Vince. As I subscriber of Car and Driver since I was a pre-teen, Jean was part of the irreverent brilliance of that publication that fostered within a young me a love for reading. She is a legend.
