I really like this photo. The late great Dave Bogan and Yancy Spencer III, both. It looks like they are doing their jobs at the Matt Martin Contest. YS’s shirt says the 7th MM Contest 2003, so I assume that’s when it was.
David was often the beach marshall at the contest. He kept things running smoothly. The thing about David, is that he was so faithful. All you had to do was tell him what needed to be done, and he did it, without fail.
The thing about YS, is that he was normally a quite guy. He would typically wait for you to say something before he talked. Well, at the MM Contests, he talked ALL DAY LONG with a microphone in his hand, MCing the event. I think he got his entire years’ worth of words out in that day.
I miss them. I think we all do.
