Charlie - I truly cannot wait to see those photo's. Thank goodness they are going to be seen by the world. It would be a tragedy for them to be cast aside without offshore fans seeing them. A huge thanks to John Crouse!!!!!!

My time, was in the 60's, 70's and early 80's and most of the races that we participated in, gave you a jacket patch.

Sometimes the patches were better than the awards dinner, but that's another story.

I wore my old patch jacket to the OSO Miami Boat Show party, last February, and had many kind comments.
I think they were surprised to see an old racer still being able to move around at all.
