Brenda Jones First Female Hydro Driver Dies


 Brenda Jones, who became the first female hydroplane driver piloting the Miss KYYX, has died. 

I worked for KYYX/KXA radio when Brenda raced.  I did not get to know her but I had a photo that she autographed that I had up for years. Jones raced in an era when the Seattle area went crazy for the Hydroplanes.  Tri-Cities, too.

I last saw her @ Hydro Museum (Kent) when Pay & Pak was being added to their collection. Sorry to see her leave us.
