We started talking and I found out he was teaching the Mercury Outboard school there. I asked him how I should go about getting into the school. I was eighteen at the time and had been racing Mercury equipment for a couple years. He said "I know who you are, and the only way you will get in my school is to be an instructor." I was overwhelmed by that. "He said you know way more than the best pupil I have, so how about it?." I had to decline, but sure wanted that Diploma on the wall. I felt working on the CIA boats was far more important than my wants. We remained good friends forever though. Later when I went to the Lake, Roy was there too. Then I met Bill Sirois and George Thompson. Bill and I were good friends forever also. His shops were always near mine. Forever was over way too soon.Quote:
