Re: pic: Billfred (1618/2815)

We tested ours in a similar way, although our cord was only 10 inches long (before welding the ends) ... we couldent break it like that, so we decided to step on it and pull it upward... Still no luck, then we attached it to a large arbor press and stretched it to over 20 inches long...

It still has yet to be broken.

Man it looks like your on a mission from God.

PS: we didn't use PolyCord for various reasons, but man! Now I wish I had. I always want to make my students laugh

Re: pic: Billfred (1618/2815)

William Frederick Leverette (unsure of exact spelling). He is just too informal a guy to go by William, so it became Bill. But Bill is kinda short, as is Fred, so they got combined somehow.

There is probably a great story in there, I wonder if we'll ever hear it?

Re: pic: Billfred (1618/2815)

Actually, my full and legal name is William Jullian Leverette, Jr. (Find me at an event and I'll show you my driver's license and everything.)

As for the story behind Billfred, well...it's a long story.

Re: pic: Billfred (Teams 1618 & 2815)

The short story might also be under his name:

AKA: Bullfrog/Illfred/Billyfred/Bollyfred/William...

But seriously, can you change the title? It looks like your birth and death dates. (1618 was an interesting year...) You do look pretty good for a man of 390.

Re: pic: Billfred (1618/2815)

Maybe Billfred got his name from when he was a baby and he couldnt pronounce 'Leverette' so he said 'Bellefredde' and then his parents started calling him 'Billfred"......
I couldnt pronounce my Ls when i was a baby.. i would replace it with a Y.
