Thanks for the support, we are doing ok but a long time to go.
I don't know if anybody will remember Jack Youmans, maybe Ralph Donald or George Taylor or Al Lang. Jack raced SEBA in the 50's and was I guess what they called a beatnik, you have to be old to know what one was kind of like a hippy. He ran D Pro. and had a Swith hydro. The boat was painted purple with black stripes (not very popular In those days). To top it off he wore a purple helmet with a pink tassle about a foot long, blowing out of it . This was quite a site to see run. I was just a kid so I thought it was cool. Jack turned over so often he put the bow handle on the bottom of the boat, an also painted the numbers on the bottom ,he said he wanted people to know it was him. He did not run that good until a race at Lake Harr out of Sav Ga. He showed up with a D eng with saw dust, dirt and crud on it he said he just pulled it out from under the work bench, little did people know is it was a new D from Quincy. Thats when he started to run in the front. Another colorful racer from the past. Next Jack and the Sheriff.
Oh yea, I remember Jack. He truly was a "character"!
And while I'm remembering guys from SEBA, another character, but can not recall his name, was a guy that painted "OH ****" in huge letters on the bottom of his boat.
He also tended to "tip over" quite regularly.
