Outstanding post B.T.

I had a friend who had an open wooden boat (about 22 feet long) with an inboard (about 200 horsepower), upon which I learned to water ski on the Pamlico River.

Now that you mention it, those were good memories.

Now, all we have to do is write a song together. Hey, I am working on, "The Night they Drove Ole Dixie Down" right now.

I do not blame him but Alan Jackson made a million dollars writing about my childhood. He was raised just a little piece down I85 from Atlanta in Newnan Georgia and he is 13 years younger than I am, but his dad rebuilt a boat too. One thing for sure though, I would not take a million dollars for my memories riding around Allatoona Lake as a kid.
Here is his tribute song to his dad, Gene. It's called 'Drive.'

This was a companion article to one I wrote about our plywood boat. I do know where I got my love for wooden boats. It was when I was about 5 or 6 when dad traded for an old plywood boat and rebuilt it. It was not a Chris Craft but it was a cherished part of my childhood.

Gee Bobby Tony, once again, you inspire me to have a reason to live ... outside of the 1,001 reasons that I already have, of course.
