Isaw Davey Coombs article about Hangtown 1975, Where you showed your ticket stub.....I was there wading around in the mud just like you were....I remember losing a sneaker in the mud...Couldn;t find it......Good memories!!

Bugs was the coolest guy I knew...Can we say he was a little long in the tooth,ya kno. in the mid 70s, but He'd line that Dick Mann framed thumper up next toall the state of the art Iron with all those young guys..... He'd usually be in the lead when they came out of the sweeper ad Dixon.....He did us old guys proud ...
