Carroll Shelby's first wife, Jeanne
Being heavily involved with both SOA and SAAC, I have had the opportunity over the years to meet all three of Carroll Shelby's wives. Jeanne came with Shelby to the last SOA national Convention in Wichita, KS, in August of 1975. She was a very gracious lady, and spent time with a fledgling group of "Shelby Club wives (and girlfriends)" at the Convention. Here is a picture of her with my wife Diane at the SOA III Convention:
Lena was a beautiful woman with a lot of energy. She accompanied Shelby on the SAAC "Mexican Riviera" cruise in 1994, and had a great time. Shelby was trying to take care of his new heart, and would retire fairly early each night, while Lena would dance the night away, having a ball.
Cleo is a beautiful woman, too, and very friendly. She seems to enjoy the car events a little more than Jeanne or Lena. It's nice to see a woman get involved with her husband's passions, whatever they may be. I am sure you guys with "understanding wives" can appreciate that.
regards,
Jeff
