June 1, 1997, The Arcadian Star Left Us
It seems like yesterday, that we were in Washington, North Carolina for the first Formula One race of the season...Right near Reggie Fountain's boat factory.
I felt old at 53, that weekend, I feel younger at 62 now... We lost Jimmy Hauenstein there, and it was like losing a brother. Jimmy was always one whom I could call with a problem about economics, law or. It didn't seem to matter, he always had a way to reassure me that everything would be OK, that the world wasn't going to hell in a hand bag....Then, he's laugh that laugh of his and say he really had to go, but call him anytime on his 800 number....
I can only find a few pictures from North Carolina.....The black boat is Chad's... The write up is from Chad's sponsor presentation...
9 years has gone very fast my old friend...
