Notes:

“Noel was raised in San Angelo and graduated from San Angelo High School, where he met Vivian and married soon after graduation. He enrolled in the military for several years and in 1960 he moved to Del Rio and put in a go-cart track that was extremely successful. Noel eventually returned to San Angelo for a year and he worked for a company building sailboats. This endeavor led him to move to Valdosta, Georgia, with his family, where he became the Regional Sales Manager in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina for Thompson Boats.

“In 1968, Noel quit his job in a quest for starting his own boat company somewhere in Texas. He drove into Athens with a mere $7,500.00 in his pocket and was fortunate to meet Mr. Charlie Hooser at the B&B Café,who offered him a loan if he would start his new business in Athens. Bill Key walked in shortly after, and Dad decided it was destiny... He and Bill had grown up together in San Angelo and for the first time in his life, he knew Athens would be home.

“He leased a building at the corner of West Corsicana and North Gauntt and they produced two types of boats, completing initially one boat a week with a skeleton structure and three people. Four years later, he purchased the old Fisher High School Gym and the business grew quickly with production.

“Noel served as president of the Boating Trades Association of Texas with 500 members and in 1974, served as Secretary/Treasurer of the BTAT. He also served on the Athens Chamber of Commerce and First State Bank Board and was active in the community.”
