I can see that is Art driving, but he usually ran #24. He was a Nice guy, the whole family was nice. I have often thought of his wife, Clem, and wondered about her. I especially remember his Dad……

I think that boat is a Nauss Craft and belonged to or did previously belong to Terry Leatherby.

Remember it well. They used to lay up on the bank on the other side of the river. Was a major concern for me when I dove in to pull Rich McKinley out of the water after he blew over testing.

I would like to know how much fuel it took to go that far with two or four of those motors they do like gas.
Just Wondering.
