Jimmy Nichols, sold him a few props and ate at his restaurant once, but he was at a boat race and so, I never met him face to face.
He seemed to love boat racing. No relation to Louie and Fuzz Nichols. Louie ran the Mid West Power Boat Association for years. Fuzz moved to California and Dave and Phil were his kids. Dave still owns an NBRA boat or two.
