My Uncle, Tex Miller, was good friends with Red Farwell and
took it hard when he died, as did a lot of people here in the area including the
Tacoma Ducks MC Club and the Blue Barons too I think. In the attached
photo, Tex's son Randy Miller is sitting on his little bike with Red Farwell's
son, Skippy, sitting on the back. I think that is Red behind them.
Please keep your eye open for anything about Skippy, or if he is still with
us.
The Ducks had a flat track between Tacoma and Puyallup back in
the '50's where this was taken. Randy and Skippy would ride their small,
hand made motorcycles around the track at intermission. Randy's bike is
built around a Whizzer, 4 stoke flat head engine. Great old photo
anyway.
If anyone knows anything about Skippy's current status (living or deceased) Ernie would love to hear from you.
