Beaches: Main, Picnic, Divers, Woods, E-Bay.

"Moved inland & got a job"

Best memories: Rookie workouts, La Bama party (Charlie Ware's b-day), BB

buddy, buddies, girls, girls, girls!!!

Lifeguard buddies for life: Brick, Brunswick, Patterson & Houts

Classic competition story: Brunswick / Mendez rowing the dory at the San

Clemente comp on a red flag day. Last leg around the pier coming into the

beach (huge set). Bruno: "oh shit Mendez, look at this set". "Row Bruno,

row!!!" (Bruno rowed stern & I was bow) We couldn't make it out of the

impact zone. We're now on the crest of a 12 - 15' wave when Bruno decides

to bail off the back of the dory & shout: "see ya Mendez". Thanks Bruno.

Classic buddy story: Jon Brick noticing a little crab on his leg while

sitting on his tower. "I'm so huge... I am a true waterman... I've got sea

life growing on me". True story!

Thanks Dale,

Al
