Welcome to episode 98! In the conclusion of my 3 part interview with Bill Osborne we continue our conversation about some of the more notable personalities he has met in his 50+ years around hydroplanes.  Bill also talks about his book, which is available to purchase. Bill is the author of the book "Fifty 5 Years, A Personal History Of Unlimited Hydroplane Racing". The new book is 360 pages, 48 more than the original. New chapters feature expanded profiles of Jimmy Shane, J. Michael Kelly, the Tate family, and Bill Cahill. The racing story brings readers up to date as of the end of the 2021 season. New two-page profiles add Ron Brown, Bob Carver, Sam Cole, Mike and Lori Jones, and Rich Ormbrek. To order, send a check or money order for $78 to: Bill Osborne, 106 River View Drive, Lyle, WA 98635.
