Hey, you work fast! I've got that pic in poster size in my garage. For those who don't know Bale was the fastest guy on the water from 1967 untill he died in 1973. In a 200mph drag boat? No! In a rubber raft in the Walnut Creek cannal. My (pregnant) mother was a close friend and at the funeral Ma Bale suggested that it would be nice if the baby were named after Bale. So one week later, out I came, Bradley Dwight. Actually Dago thought I should have been called Luigi but thats another story. For more info and pics of the Bales, the surviving brother Laurence put together a great memorial page: www.narberthpa.com/Bale/bmp/dwb.htm (http://www.narberthpa.com/Bale/bmp/dwb.htm)
