Jim,
Double dittos on Ken's thoughts. We need you on this list. I always
read your posts thoroughly. You may not realize it, but you have been
a first class Mentor to many of us.
Several years ago, you shared insights with me when I repaired the
floor in our 1967 22' Airstream. This week, your advice is again
being used as I repair a damaged fiberglass hull on another recently
purchased Sunfish sailboat.
Next week, our son and family will fly in from New Orleans for two
weeks. They'll be car topping this old 1976 Sunfish on our 1975
Mercury Station Wagon while towing our 1967 22' Airstream to a
favorite NY Campground.
Last Winter, our son asked to borrow this equipment ("some of your
toys") for a family trip. He's looking forward to his wife and their
two pre-school girls experiencing similar good times to what he
remembers as a young boy when Sandie and I took him and his sister to
Rollins Pond every Summer.
Of course, you know we'll be going with them. Each of us will have
our own campsite. We'll be car topping a long 17' Kayak and our shiny
1960s aluminum canoe on our 1978 Ford Van while towing our 1989 32'
Airstream.
Jim, the advice and experience you shared with me years ago is now
benefitting a total of three generations in our family. That's
significant from my perspective. We need your insights on this list.
