Aren't you my age within a month? Memory? What memory? Tay Haines was the inspiration for the event, we had a few beach chairs and maybe a dozen people entered. All Vic, all the way, no city help, at least intially. Remember Sue Chisolm running around? As Dean Westgaard would say, what a healthy animal. Results and photos are in the file cabinet at Vic.

The city of Laguna sponsored the event through the recreation department. The same department ortganized the Laguna Open Volleyball Tournament and the Brooks Street. The city was able to handle all the legal requirements of the county. The following year, our contact at the city had moved to Colorado. We lost our "VOICE" within the city. The opinion of the city staff was that we were just a few kids from Victoria Beach that wanted their own contest/party. The Laguna Open and the Brooks Street which were successful, the budget limited what they could do and they had a very low opinon of Skimming. The city could not cut back on the other two events, so Tex the contest to Victoria Beach. The VIC stayed alive at Victoria Beach those years until returning to Aliso. (Tex may have a bit of ttrouble remembering those early years. His memory could be fading a bit in his advanced age.) Thanks for posting these memories. See you at The Vic!
