"History of the Sharpie"
by Doug Hogg, South Australia - July 2006
as told to William D. Fillingham.

Rolf Lunsmann sent me a copy of Doug's article on 29th June 2026.

With Rolf's help, I contacted David Hogg (Doug's son) to get approval to create a webpage using Doug's article.
David said "Thankyou Wayne, yes Dad would have been delighted. As a young kid I remember how dad's shed at Magill South Australia used to be visited every week by aspiring boat builders and they would draw straws to determine who would take home the new sharpie. I found a copy of his book as far afield as mission beach sailing club, qld. Regards David Hogg".

Thanks David and Rolf.
