Here's the May 1982 WSM cover... showing Ron!

No offense, and dont take this the wrong way, but is there something special about a magazine from 1982?

[Banks]

I agree runne

No offense taken.... but....

Ron Scarpa is considered by many folks to be the world
"celebrity" or most famous barefooter.

This 1982 Water Ski Magazine (22 years ago) was the issue where Ron is "announced" to the sking public.

Those who have been around for years, who consider Ron the current "grand-daddy" of footin'.... would probably really like this issue.... for nostalgic purposes.

Doesn't really matter now. It's sold. Somebody did.

For the younger crowd. A similar thing might be getting hold of a family video of the Bonifay boys doing some early boardin'.

i thought banna george was the most famous barefooter

What's with you banks?

It's like you're a little kid trying to start a fight in the schoolyard. I simply asked if anybody was interested in buying the WSM magazine I listed on e-Bay.

Then when I explain "why" (Ron STILL runs a barefooting school) and many of his former and current students might be interested in buying..... I get told that Banana George is the most famous footer.

If you're looking for a debate... go some where else.

Maybe you're trying to be funny... but humour often gets lost in the 1-dimensional world of text and email.
