RIP
Hap, you will be missed.
great page…
awesom info… i learned a lot
Just about 2 weeks before his passing i was thinking of coming to visit “Hap”. He and my Grandy, the late Arthur Glenn “Mac” McFarland, started the 2nd motorcycle club in Sarasota together.
They were very close friends.
My Grandy owned Austin-McFarland Sporting Goods, which was near the corner of Orange & Main. He passed away in an accident, in 1965, after someone hit his motorcycle.
