Larry
Welcome to the site. It has been a long time since I have have seen you , but I have thought of you often when on this site.
I am the fan that lived just north of the race site in Columbiavile and spent most of my day in your pit. I think I even mentioned your name in submitting a little history on Gorden's BAH effort as he bought your new Deaver hull when his boat crashed

Thanks Carol, If I ever hit the power ball I would love to make a memorial fountain with boats facing 4 directions and bricks all around it with the names of all our family and friends that we miss so much.

JoeDon Thanks for fixing it for me.
