Dale:
As one of the winners of the 1100 Runabout "simulated"(big laugh here, that was about as good a two man runabout race as I have seen lately) race during Sunday's intermission, you should be much more appreciative of the history of racing at DePue that you have put together.
Just imagine 12 of these hitting the starting line with the big heavy iron on the transom and side by side seating that made them a handful and really brought home the description of "two man" runabout.
Eileen and I were wondering how much money you had to put in the pot to assure getting a ride, and KUDO's to whoever came up with the idea. What a great way to express USTS thanks for all the Men's Club and Village of DePue have done for PRO racing over the years, and add some cash to the Men's Club treasury.
Also many thanks for the superb job you have done with keeping the DePue boat racing history alive, and I am sure the ride you got Sunday was the topping on the ice cream and cake. I was not close enough to see, but Eileen said you had a grin on your face that was from ear to ear and that was after the helmet came off. If you have any photos' please post them.
