Happy Birthday Jerry Simison

[Gene East]

Today is Jerry's birthday. It's easy for me to remember because 50 years ago today, I got married for the first time.

I'm glad my boat racing friendships have lasted longer than most of my marriages!

If Norma and I make it to 50, we'll both be 114 years old.

Hope you had a great day, Jerry! Sure would love to see you at DePue!

Happy Birthday Jerry. Man...how I remember those days. You were a boat racing Superstar, but how we talked and laughed together. Your brother Paul took my inspiration of photography to a higher level and showed me what I needed to do to take good boat racing pictures. Your Dad and my Dad had wonderful times together. It was great to see you at Ralph Donald's place a couple of years ago. Want to do it again.

Happy Birthday, Jerry. Hope to see you when we get to Minnasota.

Have a good one. Sorry I missed you at Ralph's party but went last year but I was there & you weren't Wags told me that he was trying to get you to come, but couldn't for some reason. In any event hope your birthday was/is a great one. My best to Kathy.

Happy Birthday Jerry!!!

You were one of the best boat racers ever. But, more importantly, a really good person. I really miss the times we had racing. Go Team Frustration!! Do you still have a pair of those red pants you guys wore on race day?
