Thanks Michael Re: [Rhodes22-list] Sorry People

[Mary Lou Troy]

Gee Michael, anything we can do to say thank you? Sounds like a big job, 
thanks for standing by us.

On a happier note, spring is showing signs of arriving, when do you get 
your boat back?

Wanna join us for the Chesapeake Rhendezvous Memorial Day weekend - with or 
without boat you'll be welcome.

Mary Lou
