Chris at Burlingame State Park 74

AUG 1974.  Burlingame State Park.  Chris could do it everwhere in all mediums.  There was something about the park that had its moments.  You could camp, water ski(Wakeboard), and we even had a spot on the road we could skateboard.  It also became ajob. Wayne Weight was the official guard for the spot. He looked like Eric Estrada in his suit.  Gun and all!  He got me a job in the summer 76 on the graveyard shift during the weekends.  After lifeguarding I would rest for the 11 p.m shift.  There was a guard shack complete with a jail that if some drugged out -of -stater acted up, there was a holding place.  As the season ended, I was still there on the weekends into October.  Boy did it get cold with no heat.  I finally fell asleep on the job and they let me go in mid Oct.  Didn't matter.  I was heading to Hawaii.

 

This was probably the longest Chirs's hair got. This same day Meek Severns took to the rope and the archives have him in record, though that pic is not computer ready. I can't remember whose boat we had, and for all that matter, it may have not been Burlingame, but I think I got that right!  Chris, comments?!!!!

 

My best recollection is another day off the State Beach in front of Goose's stand, and we were just getting ready to go water skiing.  Chris is on the rope and T Wye is sitting next to me.  I believe Buddy was driving.  We took off 50 yards from the beach when the anchor, which was never brought in, started to fly and slingshot back into the boat, to hit me directly in the head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I got off the boat, swam to shore and the rezt of the day tried to recpoup my brain.  Boy it hit me so hard I saw stars!!!        An anchor to the head???!!!!
