Three kids, all by his first wife, Jeanne. Sharon Anne, Michael Hall and Patrick Burke. Pat lives here in Dallas. Michael lives in Ca now, I think. Sharon Anne still lives here in Dallas(?). They are not involved in the car thing, as each decided not to be overshadowed by Carroll. If you talk with Pat or Mike in a small setting, you get a sense of resentment that the cars came first and they (and their mom) came a distant 2nd while Shelby chased rainbows all over the world. It was a peace offering of sorts back in the 80's when Shelby got together with Beverly Hills Mustang and 'continued' the line of '66 GT350 convertibles. He kept one (blue w/ white stripes, a frequent camera prop for CS) and gave one to each of his kids. Pat relates that they NEVER got a chance at a ride back in the day as dad told each of them that if they wanted a car, they had to buy one like everybody else...retail! I do not know what happened to Jeanne. I know of only 3 Shelby wives. Jeanne, Lena (killed in a 1 car wreck in East Tx in 1997) and the current Mrs. Shelby, Cleo. Other than this, all I can relate is that Sharon is a great person, very friendly and affable and a very nice woman when I met her at a SAAC convention and gave her a ride in my GT350 at open track.
