Title: John Gunn
Post by: De Hill on September 23, 2023, 10:29:43 AM

I just heard that Jon Gunn died 2 years ago in NW Arkansas. ( Stroke ? )
John did a whole lot to get C/L restarted in Arkansas.
Dammit!

From what I was told, (best I remember) it was his heart. He was having a lot of medical issues. Losing his son to COVID didn't help also.

John sponsored several contests in the park in Texarkana, Texas. They were always low key, fun events. I miss those days.  D>K

I attended several of those contests.  They were 100% fun.

That is where I learned to fly on a tilted circle and do the Marcucci shuffle. LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~

OMG that brings back memories.  I forgot about that circle.  I was just a teenager.   Everything was tilted! LL~

Yep! You can be quite "nimble" on your feet, considering your "under-carriage suspension."  ;D Definitely a YouTube moment.
