TOPIC: FIFTIES FLASH

Remember the purple boat called the FIFTIES FLASH with the flamboyant white lace! It's owner and avid boating restorer Jerry Gilkeson was given some very disturbing news when at a recent doctors appointment. It was the kind of report no one wants to get. We ask you to say a prayer and keep Jerry in your thoughts so that Jerry may win this battle.

Bill was kind enough to pass this news along to me.

Jerry...you're too damn crusty for something like this.

You're the guy - back in the day - who always spoke his mind.
If you thought somebody was shining you on you never shrunk from telling them where to put it.

I know you'll muster that old hot rodder bile and fight.
Meantime I'll hoist a glass of Brandy in memory the good times at Muscatine!

Fare thee well

No Boat Peter

Hang in there Jerry and fight like hell. You're in our prayers!!!!!!!

Jerry and Dottie stopped by on their way to FL last fall and had dinner with Kay and I, great folks. Hoping and praying for the best for them both!

Best wishes. Now, close that robe please.

All the best Jerry
Cheers

Bill

I also give my best wishes to Jerry. I always enjoyed his input on this forum in the old days . And the boat that he and Dottie shared with us was outstanding. Jerry, keep up the good spirits! Larry in Idaho.
