| The only
Wayfarer team in Clark Lake 2005: Chester and Gail Javis
(W739). But
there is good news, gang! Joe DeBrincat, who attended
the regatta
without his boat, is spearheading a drive to revive
Wayfarer
participation in Clark Lake 2006. So far, we think we
have the
following entries lined up to join Chester and Gail next
year: Joe
DeBrincat, Bob Frick, Mike Anspach, Don Thwing, John de
Boer, Nick
Seraphinoff and Marc Bennett (in Uncle Al's W3854). |
