Don Gray,
holder of three blue chevrons
In 1949 Don
Gray bought a new O.G. from Skip Etchells, #2857, which he named Barbie. At the time he
was a member of the C.L.I.S. fleet. In 1950 he went to the 1st District
Championship, called at the time The Atlantic Coast Championship, and got a
series third, behind Art Deacon, winner of series first, and Robert Jill, series second.

Here is a
group photo of the contestants of that series. Seated directly behind the 1st
District Trophy is Nancy Deacon, Art Deacons wife and crew. Art is to her left. Your
job: pick out Don Gray.
