First to finish in Class III river motorboat race.

Middletown to Hartford and Return...

1948.

Barbour brand boat with Evinrude motor.

He raced the Albany to NYC competition a few times, and also raced on
or near Lakes Zoar and Candlewood in Connecticut, and at the base of the
Lake Zoar dam.

I do have at least one memory of when I was a wee lad of watching my dad
win a motorboat race.

In the 1950s, he crossed the Atlantic in Swedish-made outboard cruiser
powered by two Evinrude outboards. They traveled in the lee of a
freighter, and fuel and supplies were passed down to them from that
freighter. He was the co-pilot and mechanic on the trip, and it was the
second time that trip was accomplished successfully. My dad was the New
York/New England importer for that brand of boat at the time.

Just because you are opposed to abortion doesn’t make you pro-life. Your
morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a
child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed, not a child
clothed, not a child able to see the doctor. That’s not pro-life…that’s
pro-birth.
