[Rhodes22-list] Chet: Learn to Sail

Sun Oct 29 09:56:00 EST 2006

Hi Chet, Yes Ed I am awake, barely.  It has been a rough couple of weeks 
supplying Budweiser to all the fans of The WORLD CHAMPION St. Louis 
CARDINALS !!!!!!.  Enough about my paying job, as a side interest I am an 
American Sailing Assoc. Instructor.  Needless to say I believe in the value 
of the class.  In my 4 day class I teach what probably took 10 years of 
trial and error to learn.  If I had had such a class 30 years ago I would be 
a much better sailor today.  Bob
