As long as everyone gets their fair share....


DALLAS - Celebrated auto designer and race car driver Carroll Shelby will finally be buried, more than two months after his death, thanks to a settlement between his three children and wife, both sides told The Associated Press on Monday.

Shelby's body has been held in a Dallas morgue since his May 10 death. His children said their father signed a directive this year to have his remains cremated and split between them and a plot in his native East Texas. But his last wife, Cleo Shelby, called that directive a forgery and said another document signed two years ago gave her power over his affairs.

They said the agreement will allow Shelby's body to be cremated, but with the ashes split five ways instead of four, with an extra share for Cleo Shelby.
