I think Nick was the name of the oldest Solomons kid who would have been about your age. Litoralis was the same age as Alex Solomons (I think that was his name) and they were great rivals in the younger end of the Opti fleet. I remember that Dusty Miller the father was the race officer the first time that Litoralis raced in the Opti fleet there.<BR/><BR/>See - lots of connections.Tillermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639738519386820997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413045.post-1152257756709935272006-07-07T08:35:00.000+01:002006-07-07T08:35:00.000+01:00Conections they are..

But we got to thinking, some of the older kids we knew at Rutland SC were in the Optimist National Training Squad and you probably knew them too. Remember any of the names? Solomons or Miller ring a bell? Connections maybe?Tillermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639738519386820997noreply@blogger.com
