[Rhodes22-list] St Petersburg show - Ron et al.

[Ron Singerman]

Ed,

Are you sure that you dont work for the local chamber of commerce?
Seriously though, Up here in NH we have the best of both worlds.. Sailing in
the summer ( 10 minutes away) and skiing in the winter (15 minutes away, my
wife and I are ski instructors at our local ski area). We may make a trip
down to Stan to see our boat during the recycle process and we wil keep in
mind the proximity of Anderson.  If I could figure out how to attach
pictures I would love to show you what this part of the country looks like.
By the way, does this yankee need a passport to cross the S. Carolina
border.  My wife should not need one since she is a Georgia girl.

Regards,

>>ron<<
