Victim wanted to shed tear in pain but didn't. Then he asked us to take the hook out. We refused, sent him to the e.r., and he was back in under an hour. THose three guys came to the derby for years with each other. I haven't noticed them the last few years though. He didn't heed my advice, but he took the hook like a man.

I remember, IIRC Julie was to Billy's right, Billy to my right. The albie came unglued and Billy was getting ready to cast back out, with that guy's chin on his hook. We had to yell to stop Billy from ripping it off - he did not even know.

Guy went to MVH with an unexpected facial piercing that day.

Those were fun times on MV!
