...Devlin ’05. The job was handled rather efficiently by the sophomore tandem of skipper Roberta Steele and crew Christina Cordeiro, who took first place in the division to guide the Crimson to its other top finish of the weekend. In the B-division, sophomore skipper Megan Watson and senior crew Ashley Nathanson also took first in possibly the most dominant performance of the entire weekend. “Megan and Ashley had a streak of seven first-place finishes in a row,” Steele said. “You had to be really alert, playing...
...first vehicles Watson made were happily off-road as well as off-beat: kooky-looking buggies called Stalkers, for which he sold DIY kits as far afield as Poland. As demand grew, so did Rhino Buggies' ambitions. "Clients wanted something they could have fun with in the bush but also drive to the office," says Watson, sitting in an office littered with toy plastic rhinos and model LandRovers and Jeeps. So he and his mates came up with the (road approved) Hammer, a Hummer replica on a Nissan chassis. Then, one day, they sat down with paper, pen and ruler...
...Indonesian Army had asked Rhino Buggies to make a military version of the Blizzard (it wants to buy 100): "They liked the fact that they're really easy to work on and parts are easy to come by," says Watson.

"I'm what I'd call an expository preacher," says Watson, who came to Australia 54 years ago from Northern Ireland. He demands of himself only that he be prepared for each service: "if you don't prepare," he says, quoting Protestant preacher Ian Paisley, "soon you'll be preaching to Mrs. Wood and Timothy Timber...
...Watson nods vigorously, and he and Ruby begin chatting. The eldest of seven boys, Watson says his father lived to 97 and his mother's still kicking at 94: "So I've got good genes." Ruby, the youngest of seven, counters that she had a brother who lived to 101 and "only one of us died under 90," though she's the only one left. "You're lucky," she tells Watson. "You'll have your brothers your whole life. I miss my [siblings]. There are so many things I want to talk to them about...
