Call for old photos

This came from Josh @ WS mag:

You guys been getting wind on Lake Lanier at all lately?

When I was in Atlanta, you mentioned some older photos from regattas back in the day – some that had Robby, Alex Aguera, and other famous sailors … do you still have any of those on file? I’d love to check them out. I like the idea of maybe doing a little story on...

Anyways, give me a shout, lemme know how you’ve been doing, etc.

- Josh

NotDeadYet, How about it, do you have some photos? Who might?

sure, i will go through and pull some out.
Does Stanger qualify as "famous" ?
Never remember Robby here though, raced with him in Mobile once, or should I say I saw him way in the distance in front of everyone. He was 13 at the time, we were racing the original Windsurfer, teak boom, centerboard, universal, and harness had net been invented yet

Yea, that's what I replied to Josh-- Alex or Robbie in atl are news to me. Stanger is definitely famous, just ask him Wink

Met Alex in Hatteras with Fred D, watches him pull his shoulder out and pop it back in. He said it is easy to do from all the kiting he was doing. The launching has really streached his shoulder so he can pop them both in and out at will.
and that was at dinner, i was not hungry for a while after that...
