Dean Pink

[Ron Hill]

I really don't KNOW Dean Pink....but when we talk on the phone or are together, it is like we have been friends all our lives...Dean taught school.. Dean worked for Yamaha Marine. Dean has his own marine business...

When Chad ran Formula One in 1996-97...Dean (in Florida) helped Chad, along with Randy Peirson (in Minnesota), over the phone build Chad's Formula One motor... A motor than ran very well..Dean gave Chad pistons...and a block...never asked for a DIME...It was for a KID....Dean did tell me, that I had to take care not to get Chad hurt....never dreaming that it would be Jimmy Hauenstein who would be more than injured....


After we "DROPPED OUT" of Formula One, Dean and I didn't talk as much as we had. He and his wife had a baby....Hell, the child must be 15 by now...I'm sure if I called him, we'd pick up right where I left off...and that was he was needing more speed from his twin engine Yamaha boat...

Bruce Washburn posted the other day....Bill Curtis was reading an old 1984 Powerboat and said is Dean Pink related to Ed Pink?? No, I said, "Why."... He said, "Hell there is this article about Deran Pink and Bob Cox setting a Mississippi River record...Actually, September 1983...Yamaha outboard on the cover...Dean must NOT have worked for Yamaha then...

**** for pictures, will retake thme tomorrow when it isn't raining.
