Hi Mark    I'am new at this web site and would like to know to find a R/C like yours I see your from Mi and class of 67  I live in Az now but grew up in Detroit and would go to the Hydroplane races every year and sit at the roostertail right at the pit  We still see them in San Deigo and love them Please let me know about the boat I have build R/C planes sailboats Cars and need a hydro  Thanks Dennis Dyke    dyker76@cox.net

Hey Marc...  My dad Ray was Bill's brother.  I have 2 sisters, Laurie and Adrienne, and a brother Daryl.  Yes, I have some awesome memories.  Dad owned a marina in Port Clinton Ohio, and whenever Uncle Bill raced in Detroit, he brought the boat to Sugar Rock and of course the people around here freaked.  Then we would take a family trip on dad's boat up to the Detroit River, catch the race, and hang with family. Many many great years.  I was probably 12 when I first met Aunt Fran and saw her in Detroit 2 years ago..  I still communicate with Wil and Edward from time to time, not much contact with Dorian or Ken, geographic reasons only....

     (laughing)... I see you built an '82 Atlas as I did.  Mine took me 400 hours, about 1200 bucks and was perfect down to the brush stroke.  I watched in horror as it lost reception, and crashed into the rocks.  Stupidly I tried to re-start my KB .87 only to watch it literally blow up.  I still have it in the shed with boxes marked Christmas laying on top of it.  Gotta love the sick humor...

     Anyway.. I'm glad Uncle Bill is not forgotten...  I do have more stories for another day....   The best,  Steve

 

Good Day,

How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:(mrsstellaabudheir@gmail.com ) for the full details.

Have a nice day

Thanks God bless.

Stella.
