In Memory of … By Al Waters NAMBA Executive Secretary Earlier this year we lost NAMBA model boating legend Bobby Tom. Bobby was not just a NAMBA model boater. He was known throughout the model boating circles for many years for his years working for K&B Manufacturing and then with Airtronics Inc. until he retired to Lake Havasu City, Arizona. When I got involved in model boating in the late eighties, Bobby had already been around for a number of years. He was everybody’s tech support go to guy from what I remember. A very likeable guy who ran nitro outboard tunnel boats. When it wasn’t racing he would spend much of that spare time with the likes of “707 Specialties” Joe Monohan and Needles River Rats Richard Hazlewood out in the Needles, California desert where Richard lived. They would all get together and go fly RC airplanes and target shoot. It was a camaraderie second to none. Bobby Tom will definitely be missed but not forgotten. Christmas in July Sorry for the computer foopah e-mail in July you received wishing you Happy Holidays. I do not know how that happened but thank you to the 107 members who let me know about it with a return e-mail. I thought that to be in itself interesting. We have Blue Monday, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. Why not Christmas in July? And now I can send this Propwash newsletter to the printer as now my work is done. :):)::) Vote ... Vote ...
