July 1, 1979 — From Sailing Clinic, Vol. #26: Gary Jobson has just given the Moore 24's three practice starts and sent them to the windward mark. He puts down his loudhailer and asks, "What is it about you Californians?"
"Like what?"
"Oh, you know, all the gays, Jerry Brown — what's going on out here?"
"Well, there's room for everybody out here. I guess we give everybody room to do their thing, whatever that is."
