utterly amazing, this is what makes this site so great, the history. I'm just wondering why we didn't know each other better back then. FYI, I spoke to Flo about a year ago, her & Tommy are (were) living in Nassau Bay, without giviing me many details, she said Tommy was not doing too well. They are avid NASCAR fans nowadays & go (went) to many races in their RV. As for Fred, I pumped more gallons at his dock than I can count. Worked for cokes & tips, broke my heart when he retired, for a small man he was a GIANT. John Wayne came there when they were filming Hellfighters about Red.I remember Gus as well, he was a hoot, I have been struggling with Buck's last name forever, THANK YOU! Those were the days.........
Wayne, not sure what happened to the apts., I do know they were condemned before I moved away. (LONG story there
)
Boots Hanson (Red Adair's partner at the time) had a house down there as well on the point of that land
edit, that pic of Flo in the tunnel was taken from the Landing Apts. which I lived in 1971
David, where are you living now a days?
