Thanks for that sound bite!!!! I have not heard her voice in so long, it brought a tear to my eye. Thanks again so much!!

Re: Betty Cook?

Hey Hauling trash, can you let me know if you have any of Betty's things. I would like to buy them before they go on EBay. There was a picture of her on EBay that I bid 5$ on and was outbid with about 10 seconds left. The winning bid was only 50 cents higher then mine. Thanks.

Hey Charlie, that looks great! I love the pictures of my Aunt. You will be in KW right? It would be great to meet up for a drink if you're free some time. Let me know.

Wow!

Hi fellas! I was scanning one of my dad's favorite pics and I ended up here.

This is the Natural Light boat chasing Betty in the 1977 race I believe. the original says "from Joe Ipilito" on the back.

note: that's #89's boat wake ,upper



I dug into an old box of loose pics and found a bunch...apparently my dad was number 1 fan...he's got a full album floating around here of the 1977 season...mostly of the KAAma crew....

edit: All of the good pictures went into that 1977 Album of my dads...I can't find it, it may have not made it out of Miami after the Andrew hurricane...I'll ask mom she has it....

I'll scan some more and post!
