Rhett actually didn't retire then.  He borrowed an airplane from Ron  
Chidgey and came to the 1991 F3A Team Selection Finals that I CD'd.   
He did not make the finals.  I think he still lives in Texas.  I  
haven't seen him since.  His father, also called Rhett still lives in/ 
near Tallahassee, FL.
