Miss those guys! Some of the most dedicated r/c boaters of all time.

Plus also add Gene Taylor, Bill McGraw, John Hall, Chuck Wiechard,

Leon Kettle, John Barr, Mike Rushing, & Terry Moore.

Hello John Equi hope your doing good its been a very long time since I have seen you!

How could I forget Jim Irwin, Bill McGraw and Terry Moore.

I had no idea Mike Rushing passed and the rest I have heard of but didnt know personally. I think I may have met Gene at the Internats one year in Huntsville. Is John Hall David Halls relation?

 

[bzubee]

No John was not related to David. David's brother maybe getting back into model boating everyone better watch out for the Hall brothers!
