Here's today's 'Guess who'. We know the boat is called 'Crisis' a BFH from the late 60's, but who are the two gentlemen holding the jacket and who is at the wheel of the boat in this picture? Can anyone name that guy holding the paper in the above picture beside the actual person?

Oaky, you all have had 2007 to answer the question and it is now 2008 so I will....
The guy on the left is Bob Peterson, the guy with the paper is Jimmy Todd, (a very young and skinny Jimmy Todd), the 3rd guy is Doug "Hollywood" Anderson and finally, Greg "Stunt Dog" Smith....WHat do they all have in common? IHBA Rescue....
This was taken at the IHBA awards banquet and I think the year was January 1992.....Wow, how time flies when you are having fun....
Great memories with all of these guys and with a little luck, some future memories to come...An anouncement forthcoming..!!!!
Thanks Gary for posting this photo.....Jimmy
I am the luckiest guy alive..Great kids, great job, great friends and a GREAT Wife...... |

The answer to the 'Crisis' BFH question is; the two guys are from left, Sam Kurtovich, and the fellow on the right is Gino Boscariol. The boat was owned by Don Neal and Gino and had several drivers. One was Sam, Gary Gabelich drove the boat to its first 200mph pass, the gentlemen driving in the picture was Ted Holden, who crashed the boat in Oregon in 1970, unfortunatly losing his life.
Heres todays 'guess who'....... |
