It's amazing how many things Ole Evinrude was involved in. Boat
motors, Briggs& Stratton, Harley Davidson, as well as ... lawn
mowers. And probably a bunch more...


Quite a guy!


His son Ralph didn't do badly, either. Among other accomplishments, he
married Frances Langford.

The man had good taste. And it worked pretty good, from what I can
tell. Married 32 years to Ralph, till he passed away. Again, Ralph
wasn't a failure there either.

Langford was also a boater. I used to see her Chanticleer around Jensen
Beach. Beautiful boat.

Harry, tell him about the time Ole Evinrude would come over to your
house for dinner, just to shoot the **** with your Dad. If you Dad could
only have lived long enough to see how you have taken command over
rec.boats, he would have been very proud.

Harry, I notice that the bio for Evinrude didn't mention your family
at all. Why is that?
