BIOGRAPHY
I knew Bobby Ackles...We had a 'lobster fest' in Secret Cove in the summer of 2007.

What a great guy , a great wife and a great family. Like us, he loved the water and he and his son (of the Calgary Stampeders) spent a lot of time on it.

Sadly he passed in early 2008...just 3 weeks before another ' lobster fest'.

I loved the book because it is a great story of '...waterboy to the team to the owner's box'.

A great autobiography of a real achiever.

Hos boat of course was the MS "Waterboy".
