The Dawe Family: Dawe Craft Boats
http://www.boatracingfacts.com/forum...cons/icon1.gif Ernie Dawe: Dawe Craft Boats and Family....
<hr style="color:#000000; background-color:#000000" size="1"> Well, yesterday, Tammy Dawe ran 20 SS Hydro and Steven ran 45 SS at Copperopolis. Some 550 miles from Indio....
Today, five minutes ago, Pat Bowen saw Ernie Dawe heading NORTH around Fresno with four hydros on a trailer....(Two of Tammy's and two of Jeff Conant, aka AZOUTLAW!!!!)...
Seems that ERNIE DAWE and Family drove home last night, left off the 45, loaded up the four boat trailer and headed for Cluaby, Oregon for the Divisionals.....Mandy Smith and grand child (children) are on board, too!!!
Good luck to the Dawe and AZOutlaw in Oregon...Mike Mentor and Angie are heading up north also, but they didn't add 1,100 miles to their trip...
Not sure when the above happened but the Dawes have been boat racers for many years.
Here is the old picture I have of Ruben Dawe. Ruben was Jimmy, Ernie and Virginia Dawe's dad. Their mother's name was Helen.
Tammy Dawe Passed Away Last Week
They found Tammy at 7:40 A.M. in her classroom, last Tuesday June 12, 2012. The coroner called Ernie about 8:00 A.M. At this time no one knows the cause of death except that it was natural causes. I have heard there is a funeral planned in Indio, next Friday, which will be June 22, 2012. This is all I know, when I hear more I will post it.
When I can collect my thoughts better than right now, I'll write more about Tammy.
For now, let me say that I'm so happy that Ernie, Tammy and I went to Culaby, Oregon a few years back. We enjoyed that four days together. I got to know Tammy better than I had really ever known here....like she told me, she had known me all her life but never really knew me, either.
Ernie had sold Tammy's A Hydro 2012 Divisional winning boat to Ross Wallach. I told Ernie I didn't like seeing her run a brand new boat at the Nationals. I'm not sure how this had worked, but I bought Tammy a new boat for the Nationals. Ernie and Tammy had high hopes for this year's Nationals, and I guess I was in the thick of it too!

Tammy Dawe 200, Whitney Point, New York
Cathy McConnell sent me this picture of Tammy.
Ernie Stopped By Today 10/24/12
Ernie has two "A" Hydros to build: One for Ade in Colorado and one for Tim Herman in Phoenix. Ernie had picked up some wood and needed to get some epoxy. He stopped by Hill Marine. Ernie is in good spirits. He wishes some of you who used to call or email would continue to email him.
He went to Minden with Dave Hale and was happy to be at the races. He felt Dave did a fine job driving Tammy's old (new) 20 SS Hydro...
He is seriously considering getting a Sport C, now that he is old enough!
