In all the years you guys came to Parker and Havasu, Ted never brought Pat. Pat actually divorced Ted about July 4th 1962.
Ted went to a race in Lodi and torn the transom out of his Swift D Hydro, and actually broke his tail bone in the wreck. Pat had gone somewhere for a "FILM SHOOT" and was out of town.
Ted had never built a boat yet, but decided to take his Swift apart piece by piece. Well, Ted had this D Hydro starting with where the transom was to the bow handle scattered down the side walk. Ted was copying each old piece making a new one ....Pat came home to her NICE HOME, IN A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD, in her new Lincoln Continental and what does she see??? Boat parts all over the front sidewalk, table saw in the front yard....Boat trailers with boats all over it, motors laying in the driveway...She filed for DIVORCE the next day.
