[Herb Parsons]

This is for my brother:

Hull #GBX220130A83, Bill Parsons, Lake Grapevine, TX, no name yet, but I'm trying to convince him "Condensed Sloop" would be great.

Poor Rummy,

Here he is busting his A** trying to provide the most dedicated among you Rhodies information about yourselves and your boats for social and historical purposes.  He recently asked some of us to review the August 16, 2004 edition of the list and offer corrections thereon.  But neither he nor the reviewers can add information you haven't provided.  The current list contains 122 vessels list by owner name/s, some of whom may be dead, ex-owners, or non-Rhodes22 owners,  (You know who you are, in some cases the list doesn't.)

     As some may recall, I did a little exercise concerning jib sheet track differences by hull models from specific years, using the hull identification numbers to built a data base.  At that time I realized that the list had some short comings as a historical document - in many cases either the vessels name, HIN, or both were missing.  On the August 16, copy of 'Da List' the information items for the people listed below was lacking.  I know this list is a labor of love and nobody has to do anything, but before the list can serve as an legitimate historical document in needs more of this additional information.  I suggest that if you now have the missing information available you send it to Rummy for inclusion in future copies of the list.  (Rummy doesn't know about this request until now, sorry Rummy, I take all the blame.)

Missing BOTH the vessel name and hull number:  Baldi, Berner, Bisaga, Buchenholz, Carlin, Schultz B., Seymour, (Spitzer), Turner, Weber, and Wetstone - 11 vessels or 9%.

Missing vessel name: Buck, Churchman, DeWeese & Thorndycraft, Ferris, Finelli, Friedland, Furbish, Lessard, Lucas, Maffett, Morian, Redmond, Scharf, Schrieffer,  Sims, and Turney - 16 vessels or 13%.  Total missing names - 27 vessels or 22%

Missing HIN: Brill, Brinckerhoff, Cavallo, Clarke, Duca, Evans, Gardner, Gilbert, Gray, Hanson, Katz,  Lapointe, Little, Matejeck, Meltzer, Morrison,  Spurlock & Zola, Rhodes, Schultz C&S, Sequin, Thomas, Townsley, Walker, and Whitfield - 24 vessels or 20%. Total missing HIDs - 35 vessels or 29%.  

Total vessels missing names and/or HID - 51 vessels or 42%.

Additionally, 13 vessels (11%) had no Home Port listed.  Please tell us where we should be watching for you or if you are strictly 'have trailer, will travel' kind of people.  In case you don't remember, you are: Gaines, Gray, Hartig, Kalisz Kaynor, Lange, Meltzer, Sandberg, Seymour, Thomas, Ward, Ware, and Whetstone.  
  
Please, people, don't shoot the messenger!

Lloyd
