You and I think the same way Steve. The way your are telling your story is in my mind as if I were one of your pit crew. It's just like I remember. The same time, same things going on, but just a different locale. I love it, and the photos that show what you guys were doing. When I first saw those pictures of your Dad standing by the airplane and some of those earlier pictures I thought to myself "he kind of looks like a movie star from the 40's". In fact your Dad looks a little bit like a young Spencer Tracy.

When you posted your membership cards of your boat racing affiliations, I thought to myself...Steve is a good boat racing packrat like myself. I was planning on the same thing for my Baldy thread, but I was waiting until I got to the year of the oldest surviving card, then post them as the years came up. I would like to talk to you. PM me or E mail me your phone number if you want to talk.
