I have lived on Bainbridge all my life. Some of my fondess memories
are of macs tav. I partied there, ate there, met my friends there, fell in
love there (many times) but only once forever. And oh ya worked there.When I
was 20 I checked ID at the door. A couple of ladies came to the door one
night and I had to know who one of them was so I checked her ID. Her name
was Ellen Biava. Quite the Fox! She wasnt too impressed that I checked her
ID.
Ellen and I were married on March 21 ,1979 know doubt the best move
I ever made. Dick Minyard
But to make a long story short, after coaching the Macs slowpitch team
and working the bar we began to be good friends over many evenings of Evil
Kneivel pinball and baseball games. In 1979 Sue Hansen and Ellie as her
friends called her, took me to Port Orchard so we could get a marriage
license!
