So right Larry. Looking at some of these pics..which I have seen countless times of course..I am always reminded about how lucky we have been all these years. To be still skiing and vacationing with this same group of families after 30+ years...well it is just a huge Blessing. john |

We can look at making you an honorary/international member and you run your minute/plus John and I will come up with a plaque. In the meantime I'll send along a little more of our annual dance ladies.

I like the way this thread is heading. Much prefer the girls in the playboy bunny outfits than you blokes in your "budgie smugglers".

Agreed...you and Wayne certainly did marry way over your heads! BTW my wife is in the background, far right with her two sisters. One in the middle is still single, a CPA and attorney. Waiting for the right skier to come along! |

Larry; here is the plaque we would be awarded when we did our first 'minute' run.....believe me you earned it. All depended on who was watching the watch. Always seemed to be an awful lot of '58' second runs before the guys would call it a minute.
now some of you sharper guys might recognize the finger holding this plaque. Said finger has held a few oil filters in the same manner. Kinda hard to get your grip just right late in the evening after a few Captains. john |

TJ and I were both competitive swimmers, it's how we met, so Speedos were all we knew. The no-vest thing wasn't an effort to be manly, we didnt have one any more. We learned wearing one of those yellow vinyl ones like you've got on, but after 47 billion face plants, it was pretty much destroyed. We kept it alive with about 20 rolls of duct tape for as long as we could but it eventually died. Funny thing about your story about the observer. TJ and I had one also, his name was Rog: stacked up life vest, ball for a head and a baseball cap. We managed to convince the 102 year old sheriff on our lake that Rog was real for a couple of summers.
I like your re-qualifying idea. Might have to subject myself to that. I have this song on my ipod. Whenever it comes up, I think of John (and now you) Not many lyrics, but at about 1:10 you will hear why (well, that and the title) |

Like you say these old pics' remind us old guys how it was. Regarding the barefooting plaques mentioned above in earlier post, me, John, my son, and maybe one or two others still make each other run a minute plus every year or we threaten to repo' the plaque!! It is called re-qualifying! |

The pic above of Bill and Denny reminded me of this one of me and my buddy TJ from 1972.

I'm just shocked that someone with the last name "Berry" actually is able to scan old pictures into his computer. There's a bet I would have lost...
