Ted May Boat Racer, Mentor to Many!

[Ron Hill]

Ted's wife, Pat, could cause a traffic jam just by walking across the street. She was a RED HEAD, and Dolly Parton would have been jealous of Pat's overall figure.

Pat never seemed to work, but when we first met Ted, neither did Ted. So working wasn't in their schedule.

Pat threw some great parties, and one huge one about 1960. She rented a HIGH CLASS restaurant and had steaks for everyone.

Around this time, Pat told me she modeled "Gloves and Hose". Me, being an 18 year old kid, thought this seemed like a good job.

While reading Playboy one day, I saw Pat May in her 1959, BROWN BUICK. There was an article about Pat. She was the ORIGINAL model for the lady who wore GLOVES and HOSE on the Joke Page of Playboy.

I remember the article as if it was yesterday. As Pat had this '59 Buick, brown with CUSTOM Tijuana Tuck and Roll seats.

Pat loved that Buick and charged Ted, $250 to use it to go to the boat races. She "RENTED" her car to her husband. Ted took the Buick to Guntersville, Alabama, 1961, and Pat charge him a $250 cleaning deposit.

Anyway, over the years, I have looked "High and Low" for this article that would have been about 1960. I've looked on E-bay, no luck. Last week at a swap meet, I saw an August 1960 Playboat with this model on the front. But no mention of who played the part.

As I recall, the article never mentioned Pat May by name, may be some of you out there have a 1960-62 collection of Playboy's that would help me solve the mystery.

ADD:

Pat was a Red Head, but she has this black wig, just like the Playboy model.
