UNFORTUNATELY ——— bad news is always the best news they have ever heard, a fatality is manor from heaven

Jackie you jumping ship right now, caught me by surprise.

I liked your frankness, but maybe I did not always agree with your recall and viewpoints.
It was a pleasure talking to you and, communicating with you and the guys via your thread -- Old Racers.

The best to you in moving on to the manor in heaven, that awaits your arrival.
Peace be with you. ​

a picture from the last OFA meeting of two of my favorite characters. GENE LANHAM and SIR JACKIE WILSON. Gene I met as a young man in Miami and he was the star of the Miami racing back in the 60s and 70s with his red Switzer Redbird. Also transitioned into one of the great ocean racing throttle man from the south Florida area. I met Sir Jackie Wilson later in life and he built a model of Redbird for me one of his famous replicas. Hands-down, two of the greatest characters in the world RIP, Jackie,. GENE long and happy life. Best always Amber Jack

Yesterday, Jan 30th, was Jackie's Birthday. Our great pal would have been 93 years young.

As you know, Jackie was a man who reached out to hug his world of friends - be they his closest, long-time buddies, or new and enthusiastic virtual acquaintances.

I know all who visit his string on S&F miss him dearly, so let's follow Willabee's lead and raise a "Cup of Tea" and shout, "Bloody Hooray!, Happy Birthday Jackie!"
