Thanks Nige.........Maybe Brownie may have a story or two about 'Dinny"

Re: Save the Old Race Boats
 

Dinny is Ogden Mills Phipps III. He was a major sackholder in Holman Moody (my engine sponsor). Big time big buck family (horses, etc). During the NY Boat show circa 1966, Dinny picked me up at the show in a limo. He took me to Toots Shor's saloon in Manhattan, and we had lunch with just about the entire 1959 NY Giants football team. Sat between Frank Gifford and Y.A. Tittle. Thought I had died and gone to heaven. Dinny was best friends with Tim (Wellington III) Mara who own the team. Talk about old money........
