Thena,
"that's it...timid...quiet, shy and timid"...that's not the Thena I've  
known on this list.

Mary  Lou,
I found the list in '98 as well...while I do not post as often as in  my
early days, I keep up with certain members and an eye on  the
conversations...guess you don't remember me because I am so quiet  and
shy...and timid, yeah, that's it...timid...quiet, shy and  timid...

Long ago and far away,  a brilliant guy named Michael Meltzer 
encouraged General Boats to get into  the world of Internet marketing. 
He helped them build a website and  started this list on the old 
Sailnet. The list flourished though Sailnet  did not and we eventually 
migrated to a list that Michael himself hosted  and managed. A year 
(or two?)ago John Lock graciously took over the  management and 
hosting of the list. Early on (1998? 1999?) there were a  couple of 
really magical gatherings at the Annapolis Boat Show - 15 - 20  boats 
represented probably 40 people all told. We were fortunate in those  
days to have a professional event planner as a member of the list and  
she just happened to live in Annapolis.

That's the  basics.

When I joined the list in 1998 there were only a few members  but they 
included Michael (who still posts here occasionally though he no  
longer owns a Rhodes 22) and Rummy. Anyone else go back that far? Rod  
and Mary maybe.

Now to answer your question. Also aboard early on  were Pamela Vana 
from Colorado and Alex Bell from Ohio. Pamela owned a new  Rhodes 22 
named Blew Daze and Alex owned an older boat - can't remember if  it 
had a name. They corresponded on the list, then back channel, then by  
phone. We had one of the big "rhendezvous" at the Annapolis Boat Show  
that year and it was obvious that they had become "an item". They  
later married, moved to New Bern, NC, bought a big boat (an Island  
Packet, I think) though they kept the Rhodes and opened a marine  
canvas business. Sadly Alex died a couple of years ago. I believe  
Pamela is still operating the business. There is a picture of them on  
the "Friends" page of the Rhodes owners website.

Lots of good  memories.
