Memories of Alexandria Friends
Wayne Baldwin

Sandia, Texas

The race course on Fort Buhlow Lake at Pineville is the best in the United States for the Alky powered outboards, not only due to strict control of the water, but by the work of all officials, and the enthusiastic crowd. 

This photo of the two-man F runabout "Miss Pam" on the front straightaway was taken in 1972.  The driver and winner of the class is Charlie Bailey from Houston, with deck rider Wayne Baldwin from Sandia, Texas behind.  They are in a Merc Quincy powered Morton runabout hull. 

The boat and motor was owned by Roland Pruett from Baytown, Texas.
