Hi Cliff, Butch and who ever else is from Miami
I think you and my wife are distant relatives from Miami. Her name was Bonny Bennett.
I knew your dad and the last time I saw him was in Coral Gables about 15 years ago at a dive shop business. I know your dad and my father in law and Dr John Dix, were some of the first skindivers and spear fishermen in S. Florida
Carl Mosley came into my airplane factory about 7 or 8 years ago in Stuart and introduced himself. I told him I had known him as My best friend Richie Baiz had worked for him back then . And I also knew him from racing back then.
Butch worked right down US1 from Johnson Kirby at Dade Marine the Merc dealership .
I hung around visiting with Butch so much ,the manager ,Kenny Wilson put me to work selling boats. That was about the time Butch left to join the Marines. After just a couple of months Kenny left for another job and the absentee owner had no other option, but to make me the manager. I was in my early twenties and looked about 15, but I ran it for about a year. At the end of the first year we actually showed a small profit, so he sold the business and I was out of work. I talked to Duff a couple of months ago. His Mom Mona and my wife have gotten together several times in the past 6 months.
I also became friends with Rusty Bonds and his brother Del while in Stuart.
Rusty raced some of the Sandy Shoes Marathons back in the 60's and Del is an airplane instructor/ exam. He is now building big boats in the Carolinas.
I saw Ray Bonds at Rusty's funeral about 15 years ago at Stuart BeachCharlie
