[Rhodes22-list] KY Lake

Mon Apr 5 15:38:41 EDT 2004

Wally,

Speaking of KY Lake, we'll be down there again in the fall. Probably the 
last weekend in September through sometime after that :-) :-)  (hoping for 
more than a week) It'd be cool if you loaded up your boat, or make a cruise 
of it and come on over for a while. LHL is a pretty nice place and they 
always seem to find room for a few more.

Anyone up for attempting another mid-American get together about that time? 
Ya, I know I don't have an R 22 anymore, but the spirit is still there :-) 
Doug, Glen, Rod, Bob, you've all been there before are you up for it 
again?? Rummy? Jim? Anybody else that maybe doesn't yet and would like to 
own an R 22 or used to own an R 22 and has something else now?? Maybe 
you've just got a boat, whatever kind it is, we're not hard to get along 
withand we don't hold it against you if you're only a lurker, you can come 
and play too :-)
