In Memoriam... We are deeply saddened by the recent passing of our good friend Bill Morgan. A true one of a kind on many levels. We've known Bill for over 40 years. Even before he "re-started" Hacker he was without question the foremost authority in the country regarding John Hacker. Bill was a boat builder, racer, restorer, and one of the very early ACBS gang on Lake George, NY. With the also legendary Doug Van Patten from Greavette and Miss Canada series fame, he designed, built and drove the last wooden Gold Cup Racer ever produced ... the V-12 Rolls Royce Merlin powered U-4 , "Something Else". R.I.P.
