[Rhodes22-list] Roger

[Ben Schultz]

You know what I miss about having Roger on the list?  He could engineer 
a solution to anything, and was willing to train those who could 
understand, few though they were.  You know that question about how to 
empty the holding tank when the lake has no pump out?  He would have had 
explanations and diagrams for some machine that would spin, filter, and 
chemically alter the sewage, rendering a safe, fresh water fish food 
that could be pumped overboard.  None of us would understand how to 
build it, but we wouldn't doubt that it could be done either.

I have noticed that each of his emails were worked over by the SPAM bouncer, big brute - over 400#, but after I put him on my address list were not supposed to be 'screened' and held.  His pictures were excellent and helped very much.  He is certainly not an IMF fan - as an engineer, I'm sure a sailing purist like my wife's dad.
