If he has not already been placed in the Hall of Fame, surely you will include Phil Keeter. He was responsible for most of the early growth of MRAA and had a hand in selecting the current president. He knew virtually everyone in the industry during his term and I think all counted him as a friend. He was a delight to work with for all MRAA chairmen and officers, me included. Thom Damrich is probably the only other person I observed of equal statue during my 20 years in the boat business. He and Keeter became close and removed much of the animosity holding us back.
