Dr_Frankenmerc Topic Author Offline Contributing Member Posts: 1433 Karma: 185 Thank you received: 44	I just received word that a "kid" I used to baby-sit eons ago, has just won his 2nd CSH Championship, this time on the east coast. We are still great friends today, and his dad lives just (2) houses away from me. Pretty darn awesome in my book! doc Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

I'll try and locate historic pictures, but the praise has to go to Sean for his accomplishments. doc Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Chuck in Cincinnati Offline Gold Boarder Posts: 967 Karma: 46 Thank you received: 43	Yes a big congratulations to him ! But you gave a young kid the excitement of boating/racing. If you wouldn't have groomed him ? He'd would end up a being an average boring guy like me. You deserve some congrats too ! Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

I visited with Sean this weekend, and he corrected me, saying the the Championship Races were in Ohio, not the east coast.
My bad.
He also got a big smile on his face, when I asked if he recalled his first Merc.
It was a Mark 25. Sunset Orange & Sand Tan. I taught him how to work on it and keep it alive.
