1984...

That was the time Bob felt that Howard was crowding him, so Bob did a barrel roll over Howard on the course to get to Howard's outside!! :shock:

A couple years later, Howard did run over a Yak-11 on the course with his Sea Fury.
:roll:

Captain was a English Bull Terrier like the in the Blacksheep squadron tv series.

Zelda was the oldest and then they got Zoey. They liked Jack Russel rescues.
