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
May she rest in peace.....and Willa...we always have an open seat in a racw boat for ya....

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
Jackie - The picture did not attach to the post.

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? :confused:Quote:

And ..... thank you gentlemen for your kind comments regarding my sister. :thumbsup:
Like I said Willa, I posted 'em-----S&F screwed the post.Quote:

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?????
