Yes, the Gibeaults are "Vault Legends" from N.E. Connecticut. Your father taught me how to vault and your uncle was a vault god.
In H.S., (circa 1977) your uncle would stop by track practice after working all day and in jeans and work boots would grab our orange aluminum pole, sprint down our dirt runway and leap over 11-6 like it was nothing (no bungies back then, only a bent to hell, triangular aluminum cross-bar) and then land gracefully on our 3 foam stuffed bags; the whole time he’d have this grin on his face (from ear to ear) while he accelerated past us. Our jaws would drop and you know, I’ll never forget it…
Are you heading up to Maine too…?

Sorry to say I don't but I hope that will change as we keep going to meets around the country. Love stories like this.
I was a big fan of Drummy though. Dude could flat out jump. He looked small and mortal - very much NOT like an athlete but MAN he had mad skills. Bubba
