As I continue the project to index old copies of Lightning Flashes I came across the issue of the 1992 Potomac Cup, which shares the passing of Doc Gilbert, truly a Fleet 50 icon.

Oh Bobby!

Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone!

And thank you to those of you who have carried on Doc’s mission to get people in a Lightning and support them as they start their own journey in the fleet and class.

Our friend will not be forgotten!

Best,

Christy
