He and Don Russell, President of Aquarena Springs, (second from right), were close friends from when Don worked in Florida. Ross Allen's son was sent to San Marcos to help capture all of the alligators that got loose during the 1970 flood. Ross would have come himself except he was in South America at the time. Yes, that is Bush Ewing 3rd from left. Bush worked at Aquarena in the beginning years. 4th from left is Paul Rogers, owner and developer of Aquarena Springs. The gentleman at the far right was a co-worker of Ross Allen.
