I don't know about DePue, but Ralph is supposed to have a bunch to sign at Kingston. I will get mine soon and will send them to Ralph post paid to autograph and send them back. This book is a very cherished thing to have. It's not just a book about a boat racer that has seen a lot of history over decades of growth, but one who helped make that history.

Ralph is not making the trip.
He loves the antique racing. With the current political situation, Depue just doesn't draw antique entries. It's a shame about Depue because it is like going to visit your grandma.

Got my copy of Ralph's book.............AND got to spend some quality time with 2 legends of our sport..........Ralph DeSilva and Melvin Cooper. It was great!

I got mine today, and have been going through it. Great so far. Couple of things not quite right, but Ralph said he was going by his memory, and said a few things might be off, but he figured it would mostly be accurate. Who among us can disagree with that? And from what I have seen, he is right. Ralph DeSilva has done a great thing telling his stories, and boat racers would be wise to get a copy while they can.

I'm just sitting here re-reading Bernie Van Osdale's book. Just ran across a picture of all 3 DeSilva's. Ralph and Bill were very young then and of course I may be old, but I'm not old enough to remember John except through these "history books". Please tell me Ralph included pictures of his Dad as well!

Ralph was at Kingston Tn for the Pro Nat's last week end . I bought his book and he signed it for me. We had a long talk about the past , I really enjoy talking to him. I still have a DeSilva lay down Hydro. There can't be many of these left.
