Paul, if that photo is from Thanksgiving...still notice leaves in trees? Spectators are wear-
ing jackets though...maybe there was a touch of "Global Warming" that year?

Eastern White Pine...........

Ken Adams said that it was Thanksgiving Weekend in 1968.

The New Breed Barracuda took down Bill Flynn's Yankee Peddler
in a Match Race Event.

It was the last race by that Team in the SS/BA Barracuda
