Geary....you're welcome. Thanks for your commentary which I always enjoy very much!
Right now I'm reading MR's autobiography. It's been out for a while but trying to get more reading in, especially what I consider inspirational works. Very interesting stuff that you'd never know about unless you had his book. For one, his parents always attended his contests. He was very close to them - their only son. They shunned publicity and always chose an out of the way spot to view the contest. More on that in a future post.
Re-organizing stuff in my back room and thought some would get a kick out of these surf movies all in VHS I have collected through the years. I also have the Bruce Brown series in VHS and a whole lot of DVD flicks. That "Free Ride" is a very rare item, BTW. One of my fav. surf movies....
