Bud has been a good friend of ours for 55 years! We spent many hours at their home up the East Hoquiam, while Bud & Dave worked on their bikes very late into the night before going to a race the next day. They always had a fun, friendly rivalry when racing. We all had a good time going to Grays Harbor Motorcycle Club races, hill climbs, and parties too. Both of them also spent time out on the river fishing, always trying to out-do each other of course, for bragging rights. In later years, when they both had bigger boats and we were up in the San Juan Islands, they still had that teenage boy mentality. They would look at each other and one of them would yell, “Give it your best shot!”, and off we’d go, racing again, but now in boats! Then in 2000, when Dave started riding again, Bud even convinced Diane to ride with him and we went on several trips together. Bud stopped by my house often on his way to Aberdeen and on his last stop we had the best visit ever, for several hours, reminiscing, etc. I will certainly miss him, but I know that he and Dave are probably at it again, racing in one way or another and I know they both Gave It Their Best Shot!
