Cool!

Hey, Leonard...thanks for posting that cool pix of Denise and their booth back in the day. Yeah, that takes me back a ways.

How's things going for you now? Still hitting the old glory holes?

I've retired from dredging. Old age has reared it's ugly head for the wife and I. I sold my dredge last year after it just got to be too much work to get into the wet suit. Thats ok though as the wife and I now do less strenuous hobbies. I did it for a long time and it was great. I found the picture after I cleaned up my computer desk and found some camera cards.

I still have the video shot at the rally. I'll have to get it on YouTube.

So, was that the only Rally ever held?

I can't imagine you not dredging, but life happens, right? Yes, I can understand how wetsuits are a young person's struggle. I think that's one reason why Vern Addkisson stays topside on Bering Sea Gold. LOL

So what less strenuous hobbies have caught your eye now? Any hints? We're ALL getting older. LOL

I think there eere were 3 previous rally's.

I have my ham radio license and the wife and I drive around looking and photographing the local wildlife.

Here's a couple of examples.

I was working the 04' Rocky Mountain Miners Rally we held in that pic Leonard. Would have rather been dredging at your claim (pic from there). Fantastic bird pictures!!!

Here is one from the same year.
