Can I be sure it's a ski boat? Not 100%. But spotting the boat in the river did make me smile, and I thought it might make a few of you smile as well.

Surprising little detail in a Kerrville photograph
I just noticed a surprising little detail in an aerial photograph of Kerrville I've published here before. First, the photo:
Studying the photograph, I noticed a little detail:
For those that don't know, folks used to water ski in that little wide spot of river. There was even a ski show put on there by Cotton Eldridge. My own parents skied there after work at the print shop; I remember riding in the boat.

I've skied in that river more times than I can remember, and Cotton always pulled me.
ReplyDeleteHe also repaired our boat motor many times at his shop.
Cotton was a very nice man.
I've always considered his death to be somewhat of a mystery.
Okay. Even tho' I'm not from Kerrville, I'll bite: What is the mystery behind the death of noted water skier Cotton Eldridge? I think there may be a country song in there somewhere.. Dana
