  2. I remember driving back from Seneca with Jack Stanton, Daddy and Myself...with Daddy sitting "bitch" in my pick up! We were laughing so hard I almost drove off the road. Unfortunately the content of our converstation is not suitable for the public!

    Randy is right...Big Daddy had one of the hardest GUTs throws to catch as there was soooo much spin on the disc it would jump out of your hand before you could close it. Granted Randy's throws were faster...but were "butter" compared to Daddy.

    PS. how do I become a contributor?

  3. As a new golfer standing on hole 16 at Burke lake I could not get my aviar or my aero to make that right turn. I believed I needed a magic disc which would "turn over". Daddy laughed and showed me how to do it with force- power, spin, mung, and WILL! He also showed me the roc,an "aviar that goes an extra 100 feet!" How to drop an aviar on the basket from 200 feet on a downhill shot "like a cherry on an ice cream sundae" Always a great and fierce competitor, bringing me to a higher level, sometimes of play and sometimes of anger! He was so alive! One afternoon at the worlds he returned from a practice round beaming. He had played with Dave Dunipace and Dave had told Daddy that " you throw the avair the way I designed it to fly!" A proud moment of a very proud life. Peace,Daddy Love, Spencer
