  • December 2013
    December, 2013 In Memoriam Buzz Olson, CYA Founding Member #2 Not that long ago back in 2008, CYA Member #1, founding member Bob Ekoos crossed the bar. And now, just three months ago, CYA Member #2 and founding member A. H. "Buzz" Olson joined his friend and boating compatriot. What they started back in 1970 is history, as they say, and it is a history that has substance and meaning and is so important for us now and for the future. How Buzz and Bob met, and how CYA was started, is a tale to tell. As Buzz told the story at an Oceanside, CA, CYA event in 2001, he was sitting on his boat at Catalina Island back in 1970 when this fellow rowed up in a dinghy. It was Bob Ekoos. Buzz invited him on board and they began comparing notes on their old boats. There were "old" boats even back in 1970! As they talked, Bob said that he was thinking about starting a club of old wood yachts/owners and would Buzz be interested. Buzz said sure, and the CYA was born. Buzz Olson was one of a dozen local southern California classic boat owners who attended a meeting called by Bob Ekoos at Long Beach Yacht Club to see if there was more widespread interest in forming a special club for their fine old boats. There was, and the momentum continued to grow. Several more organizational meetings were held that year, and our founding group of 18 agreed upon a purpose for their new club: “To promote the preservation, restoration and maintenance of fine, old, power-driven pleasure craft.” That phrase should sound very familiar to you.

  • March 2020 Official Publication of Alamitos Bay Yacht Club Volume 93 • Number 3 Club Abyc Ping Pong Dana Bell Photos
    March 2020 Official Publication of Alamitos Bay Yacht Club Volume 93 • Number 3 club abyc ping pong Dana Bell photos ing Pong Tournament is a Slam First, buy a ping pong table, a good one! Second, let the kids play! Third, let P the adults play! Fourth, have Dana Bell see you. And fifth, we are having our first Ping Pong Tournament! I really don’t think it was our first, but there sure hasn’t been one in a very long time! Well, why not! The idea was to set up the table in the second deck on happy hours when there was no other event going on. Gabe Ferramola brought his music, the bar was busy, and the idea began to take shape! It just had to happen, but how? I began to advertise the event not really knowing exactly what to do. So I asked some members. The most important point was to have everyone play a minimum number of games and not be eliminated after just one or two games. So, starting with 25 players, it was a round robin format with a minimum of four games to play with the top players qualifying for a single elimination round of sixteen. Since there were no eligibility requirements (and no entry fee!) there was a wide range of ages, abilities, members and guests! On the age scale, we had Gage Christopher (quarter finalist) on one end and John Ellis (round of 16) on the other! The other round of sixteen players were Tate Christopher, Dan Elder, Lynn Drury, Greg Naiman, Brendan Barth, Ari Naiman, Kathleen Melvin, Giancarlo Guevara, Jorge Suarez, Nicholas Mueller, Jennifer Kuritz, and Michael Oliver, plus a couple of no shows! Tables and couches were moved on the second deck, the bar was open, then the games began! With 50 games completed in the first round, spanning over two Friday evenings, and 15 for the finals, it took some time to complete.
