As some of you already know, Priscilla passed away early last Monday morning. I knew it was going to happen but you just never expect that it's right around the corner. Thankfully she is at peace now and the demons from the nicotine and alcohol have gone away.I thank God that our two kids are here for me and are helping me get through this. I am also thankful for the many friends, most of them from the model boating community, who have reached out with their support. I would surely be lost without them.
Priscilla played an important part in getting IMPBA back on track when she was it's secretary back around 1998, 1999 and part of 2000. I won't go into any detail, but those of you who were members at that time know how she helped IMPBA. She pretty much by herself organized IMPBA's 50th International Regatta in 1999 and ran the AMB lap counting system for the entire week at the race in Huntsville, Alabama. She called manufacturers and sponsors for more than 6 months before the race and we ended up with so much stuff that we gave away items each day of the race to the racers. The IMPBA cleared well over $4,000 for the race.
I hope those of you who knew her will remember some of the good things that she did in this life. I know she is with her Mom and Dad now, and I will always see her with a smile on her face. My thanks go out to all of you who have reached out with your support and I will see you at the races.
