Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

The most famous person who ever lived (resided) on N.E. 188th St., "Thunderboat Row" lived there from 1961 to 1964, in a houseboat behind Scottie Craft (later Signature, Pantera, USA, Apache prototype, etc.). If you can answer this one, you are definitely in with "In Crowd". Who was it? I'll put up a prize of an unreleased 8" x 10" Jim Wynne and me in the first two Donzi 16's. I'll autograph, but Jim can't.

The dates throw me off....if it were ten years later I would think it would be Byng Goode.....also the most famous person wouldn't apply either.

John Crouse.

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

No, but I went there from time to time to help further their career. You might say I supplied some valuable input to their persona.

Don Himself ??

James Caan?

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

SEAN WINS! How the hell did you know that? In those days, her name was Lynn Borman. It was a good start for the Row!

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Surely you jest ... ? :D :p

Hope Mrs Brownie does'nt check out OSO ... either that or she has a b**ch of a sense of humor ..... :D

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

You mean you got him drunk???? :drink: Speaking of Crouse???

Or Valuable input--- speaking of Linda Lovelace??????

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Ok Brownie here is one for you. Who has the naked picture of her that was taken in the back of the Old Cigarette truck that Knocky drove? And what famous celebrity that was performing at The Fountainbleu made an hour long stop at her place and came out all smiles?

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Sean Stinson! Trust you to know something like that. Geez....get to work!

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Sean, Geez, you got me!!!!!

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Friggin Stinson - that man with more "dirt" stories than anyone I know!

Thats why I hang with him! :D :D

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Frank Sinatra

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

I will give you a hint on the performer. He used to hang around a well known race team.

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Steve McQueen...................

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Hi Brownie -

How is the book coming along? I sent you a few stories a while back and it sounded like you were getting close. I can't wait to buy a copy.

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Sean -

The clue has me more puzzled than the question. In the early days, other than James Cann, I can't think of any other star hanging around the race teams.

So with the exception of the clue, I know Buddy Hackett and Bill Cosby hung out at Turnberry Isle quite a bit, but that was probably 10 years later.

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Alright another clue his wife was a guest commentator for one of the races.

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Sammy Davis Jr..............right? :drink:

Apache World Challenge......... her name is allez vite (sp?) or something close to that? Or am I trippin.... :D :D

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Hey Sean---When is our anniversary???? Yeah that's what I thought ;) ;)

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Very good we have a winner.

Also Brownie I must admit your esteemed colleague is a wealth of information or should I say he couldn't get a damn thing done when she was laying out with her nurse mate in the nude.

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

b...that was sammy's daughter...not wife :) and the race was the bermuda triangle race...

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Uhhhhh that would be.....wait a minute I know this one........give me a damn minute here........Oh yeah September 8 !!!!!!!!!! That is right isnt it........No that is our daughters birthday........hold on it's uhhh......uhhhhh... oh oh September 4........thats it.


Love you baby.

Sean

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Ahh I see! I remember it being the Bermuda Triangle race now that you reminded me.

Didn't know it was his daughter.

Still pretty good for a guy who was quite young when those races took place!

Thanks for the refresher! :cool:

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

yeah...i was pretty young then too...the only reason i know this little tidbit is from a dvd i received from one of our former members...and i think her name was althea???

stinson, can you guess who that former member might be? :)

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Sean I don't want to start an argument but I just viewed my DVD of the Bermuda Race and it was Sammy Davis Jrs Wife I just watched it

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

damn...i was so sure...if OSO had one of those red-faced embarrased faces, I'd put one up... :confused:

sorry for the misinformtion folks... :(

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

LOL It's just a fringe benefit of being married to Stinson...a plethera of usless knowledge ;) and a truck load of old race videos :D

I am just glad you didn't get all pissy like others do when you correct them :D Thanks ;)

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Allez vite?..... I remember him being married to a swedish actress named May Britt...Poor ol' Sammy got lots of death threats after he married her... he was married to her from '60 until '68..... In 1960 she was 24 years old... :D

I thought that was the name of a race boat???? What gives?

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Nope..not me...never... :) ...at least i got the race right...how about her name? did i get that right?

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Yes if you watch the video she is introduced as Allez Vite or something VERY close to that. I thought maybe that was where the raceboats' name came from, but found out it wasn't. OSO offers the DVD with a new membership. Check it out! :drink:

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Her name is Altovise and it is or was Sammy's second wife.

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Okay Sean - Being the trivia king, you probably know this one as well:

In Don Aronow's last office on 188th Street, there were a lot of trophies and a lot of pictures of Don with celebrities. Of those pictures, five pictures come to mind.

Hint: Don dated at least one of the guys wives before they married.

Re: Famous resident of Thunderboat Row.
 

Thats it! :cool:
