Yeah I've read that account as well. :DQuote:

Anybody else at LBMS the day Don Prudome took his one & only ride in a dragboat ?
Now that you mention it, I think Don was the guy that said he wouldn't do it again. :D Did he flip?Quote:

I'm sure some of you remember this. I was pretty young, but I remember it. Hey Bob (GN-7), this one is addressed to Del St. John. :cool
