[Rhodes22-list] Walk-through stern rail Re: I just got my new old Rhodes

[Mary Lou Troy]

Yes, I have a copy.  I received as small payment and a couple of 
copies as a contributor to the book. The book is still available. I 
believe I can still buy them at a slight discount as an "author". I 
haven't had much contact with Stan Grayson. I was supposed to get a 
second payment if it ever went into a second printing but don't know 
if it ever did. In any event, it was fun to do and I've had great 
positive feedback about the chapter both from the Rhodies on this 
list and from folks on the TSBB. Your boat ended up as a stand in for 
Fretless because I am such a lousy photographer.
