Bob Murphy from Springfield, Illinois walked away with the C Service Runabout title with two firsts followed by Lyndol Reid of Texarkana, Arkansas with two seconds and Don Nichols from Lake Charles, Louisiana with a third and a fourth.

Billy Seebold ran away with D runabout winning both heats. Raymond Jeffries was second overall with a 3-2 and Phil Crown from Dallas third overall with a 4-4. I wish I could have had the score sheets from not only this heat, but all of them. Somehow I know Jerry Simison and Bruce Nicolson are the missing 2nd's and 3rd's but something happened in one or other of the heats. Clayton Elmer was usually up there too, but he doesn't remember.

All in all, the people that were there remember it fondly as a good time, and the only thing else they remember were the water hyacinths. Everyone remembered that.
