Rainbo Beach, Needles, California, April 28, 1964
Jimbo McConnell's mother took many slide photos over the years. Cathy McConnell has been scanning these pictures. I don't know if they should be under Jimbo The Wizard of OZ or the Hill Family. This is my brother try to "Back Into" another C hydro win. In the back ground is me winning D Runabout, one of 15 wins that year. Check out the ski jump in the middle of the river. I went over that ski jump ONCE...

Long Beach, California, January 1, 1962
My brother was always crazy, but it kept him from going insane. He realized that January 1st would be a Sunday, and the Rose Bowl and Rose Parade would be Monday, Russ decided the Valley Speedboat Association could put on a race January 1, 1962 ans get new members.
This is Jimbo's Zorkan AU at Long Beach, my Old Man is in the hat. January 1, 1962. That's me in the white sweat shirt and Jimbo is behind me.
he second picture is of my mom and dad at Bakersfield, 1963.

Geezers: Ernie Dawe, Jimbo, Ron and Russ Hill
Cathy McConnell took this picture at Steven Dawe's house the day of Tammy's funeral.
The four of us have been friends for 50 years. Great picture, Cathy!
In case you don't know, from left to right is:
Ron Hill, Ernie Dawe, Jimbo McConnell and Russ Hill, Jr.
Funny, I don't think the four of us were ever in the same heat together.
