Bill, so sorry for your loss...

Thank you for sharing Merts head stone. It is a very nice tribute...

Bill, I never realised your sister was married to " KUBES" and I've been to her house a couple of times with PRUETT . Was usually Jim that picked me up at the airport when I flew in.
My old ticker was working overtime and I had grit in my eyes reading your last post-----names past and present, have to make the effort and see all the live ones at least one more time.
Bloody Hooray Willa, if I can make it across the pond in November -----please make it to Tavares ----promise to buy you a rum and coke.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I'm glad you have good people around you for support in this trying time. I've really enjoyed reading your threads.
Dave

Hey Willa, you know anything about this four pointer----all I can tell you is it was built by Ron Jones and owned by Phil Rolla. Made in the late 50/60s

Recognise these old beauties Willa----you should----they are really good VALPOLICELLO'S
Far left is a 2003 pretty close to $ 200 a pop.
You should get a posh vintner to value your '67.

P.S. Drank the middle two for lunch----sorry 'bout your bad luck Bill.

Hey ya Ol Goat, thought you said you learned how to post pictures?

No, I don't know anything about that boat. However, I would like to ask why it has so many tires? I'm thinking that if it was built in the 50's or early 60's, that would make it a Ted Jones creation. Seems like Ron was in his mid to late twenties when I met him in 67 or 68?

And ..... thank you gentlemen for your kind comments regarding my sister.

Like I said Willa, I posted 'em-----S&F screwed the post.
Absolutely right Ron was the UIM representative and was just a kid, he was a very good friend of Rolla's .
Boat had to be a part of one of Phil's spectacular deals---and who else would want a four pointer with all those tyres?????
