How about Dr. Robert Gingold plastic surgeon in North Miami, he was involved with copper kettle (36 CIG) back then,he is still in private practice on 125st i think.

Could be 1980, race was run out of Turnberry Isle. Flap Jack broke a steering ram, spun out. Howard and his son Lester were thrown out, but Smiley was so big, he was stuck in the bolster, and broke his neck. His wife was in labor that very day. Everybody that finished in the money, (including me) donated their prize money to his widow. Smiley was a great guy and a great competitor.

Smiley was my dad's T-Man and my idol. Very sad day for me when he passed away.

I remember Smiley running with your dad, tough combo, to beat.

All of you guys in those little "P" and "M" boats were badasses. I think I have some pics of your 27' Sport somewhere, but your black and gold Maltese was my favorite back then. Beautiful boat.

If you could go back to the Sunset Inn and start over, would you do anything differently?

I was with Gilmore in Chicago one when he was dancing with a girl that literaly had a wooden leg, and being the smooth talker that he was, he talked her into taking the leg off, on the dance floor. Told her something about the Lyndy hop or whatever. Seeing those two water-ski had to be priceless. And pix or visual evidence. I'd pay good money or bad money to see that.

Saw Brownie at the show yesterday. Confirmed that he was water-skiing with Gilly. Heres the kicker, both at the same time, behind a nova. Must have had holmen-moody.

Rough, here's rough. 1984 Miami Hotel, APBA National Awards Banquet for 1983 season. I win US 1 for modified class. We have large circular table, Gilly and his date are at our table. Along with two Secret Service Agents, (Michael Reagan was guest speaker). When the announcement was made that I had also won the Fireboy Award for top throttleman award, Gilly gets up on the table and starts to do his standard celebration jig, which means he drops his pants, ( no underware ), in the process he knocks over the centerpiece, which is an oil-bath candle, and sets the table on fire. Priceless !!! Had to see the expressions on the faces of the Agents. Really priceless !!!!

I Remember Errol Lanier telling a story of a Offshore party where Gilly (influinced by lanier) went out on the dance floor and Pee'd on someones shoes (could have been clauser) while they where dancing. sounds like you all had some REALLY Good times back then...

 

[Bobby Sheer]

Saw Errol Saturday night at Paul Clauser Memorial in Ft. Laud. Did we have some great times---- you bet. Just wish I could remember them all. How have you been?
