We will close out the 1965 Kay Harrison binder with the APBA Nationals from DePue. Anyone remember why there was a delay in the results for C Service Runabout???

I really appreciate the letters of sixty years ago, no doubt banged out on a manual or electric typewriter and some handwritten. No spell check, no grammar check, no autocorrect, and yet the grammar, spelling and writing are better than what we're getting today. But then, I'm a hopeless Luddite.

Here we go with the 1969 binder of Kay Harrison. FRont to back and it starts withthe 1969 APBA Nationals on Lake DePue. The first post is the WHATSUP booklet as produced every year by Charlotte Queen of the Outboard Club of Chicago.

Wish these hadn't faded over time. I tried to enhance them as best I could so they were readable. These are the Friday elimination heats.

Here are 2 different copies of Saturdays final heats. The final that catches my eye is D Hydro with Peterson , Schubert , Seebold , Baldwin , Anderson , Hauenstein , Waldman , Kirts , Schoch , Stahl , Hulgan , McFarland - oh my , nobody giving an inch in that race.

Here are a couple different copies of Sunday's finals heats

So looking through the elimination heats I don't see the K-4 listed in any class , I wonder if Marshall Grant didn't make the trip to DePue in 1969? I imagine Dickie Pond was still driving for Marshall in 69.
