... The boat runs about fifty-two miles per hour, which is very fast on water. Except for my car, my boat is my most prized possession. There are many people that we associate with at our place on the bay. My father’s best friends have the camper right next to us and they come up every weekend too. They also own a boat, except it is no ordinary boat. It is a thirty-four foot Scarab III powerboat. It has two rebuilt 454 big block motors with 550 horsepower per motor.

... I was overwhelmed at the time to meet such stars. Several years passed, and I was now a twelve year old who remembered Disneyland as a place where “little kids” go to meet Mickey Mouse. Fortunately upon arrival to the park I realized I was wrong. I soon realized that that my mature height of five feet and one-half inch had given me a golden key to the doors of some of the biggest thrill rides the world will ever know.
