MAYOR'S COMMENTS
 

Comments for Monday, November 2, 2009

Good Morning,

Hope your week is going good..beautiful weather here..enjoying it..JT is even able to wash our dirty boat.

Rather quite here on the pier except for the work that continues on the end of the pier.  So many folks already closed their
boats for the winter..but continue as usual with several "die hards" who will stay as long as possible.

We said goodbye to Mike & Jan aboard "Trust Me" as they are headed South for the winter.  We wish them a safe and exciting
trip as they have planned for this for a long time. Congrats to Mike on his retirement!!

Also Ron & Anita Miller from the pier have left going South...aboard their 42' Jefferson ...this is a new adventure for them..so we
wish them also a safe and fun trip.  It was a joy to meet and visit with them while they were here.

Check out the pictures on the web of the chili supper on the pier...looks like a fun time was had by all!!

Congratulations  to our friend Emory for winning the flag!! Check his picture also.

Everyone have a good week...see ya soon.

Mayor Pat

 

A Note from Frank and Cindy Staffe

We are going to miss all of you on pier 6 and we were fortunate to make such good friends. We will miss the parties and the morning coffee in front Mayor's boat.. Pier 6 is full of wonderful people, that care about each other and for that each and everyone of you are in our hearts. We will stay in touch and you do the same..  love to all  Cindy & Frank

 

When our dear friend Emory ends the evening as the target of head painting, it should be no surprise he is going to end up the next day with the "over-Served Flag".

Does anyone know the owner of the bicycle pictured here? As you can see it is securely locked to a pole in the Sea Doo slip and has been there for several years. The weather is taking it's toll on a very nice bicycle and nobody seems to know the owner.  If the bike is yours our you can identify the owner, please please drop me an e-mail at  the address below.

A Thank You

Pictures to the right are from the Jerry Terry stroke anniversary  party.  August 26th marked a year of recovering from a stroke that sidelined J.T. for a while. But not for long, he's a tough old bird!


    Hi Bob,

   This is for the what it's worth department (see  picture to the left).  For Father's Day, my son gave a change to drive and actual Indy
   car around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.  Plus we also took a ride in the IRL two seater with an actual IRL driver.  Our guy was   
   Davey Hamilton a veteran of 9 Indy 500's.  Bob, words cannot describe that day.  To actually slide down into an Indy car and take it
   for a spin around that historical speedway is something I will never forget.   I don't know whether you've had a chance to climb into
   an Indy car but if you haven't, you are virtually lying flat.  Picture sitting in your recliner with it fully laid back with your feet straight in
   front of you and then put a pillow under your head and you have it.   In the u-drive portion, they put an Indy driver out in front of you in
   another car to show you the line around the corners.  We were going approximately 120 mph.  In the two seater we reached speeds of
   190 to 200.  The g-forces in the corners are indescribable.  You feel like your brain and is being smashed against the right side of your
   skull.  I have a whole new respect for the Indy drivers.  It is hard to believe that they do that for 500 miles with 32 other cars out there
   with them.

A big congratulations to Charley Moores Grand Daughter Kelsey


Kelsey Moores Finishes 8th

at All-American Soap Box Derby in Akron, Ohio

Kelsey won her first three heats in Akron to advance to the championship round with nine other racers.  She finished third in her fourth heat of the day (championship round).  Kelsey then moved on to face-off against the other two third-place finishers (from the two other heat brackets) for 7th, 8th and 9th place.  Kelsey came in second in this heat to finish 8th overall out of 135 stock division racers.

 

A new game came to Pier Six .  Almost everyone got involved, but it was quite apparent that Pat and Patty were the "Class" of the crowd".

(But then it was their game)

The was a nice cruise on The Jim and Jan Ladd's boat, "Jim 'n' I", over the weekend, but it was quite clear that grand daughter Bailey was the center of attention.
