<DIV><FONT face=Arial>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.</FONT></DIV>
