[Rhodes22-list] Newport boat show

[Michael D. Weisner]

Stan,

I take that as an emphatic "NO" or even "NEVER" as an answer to the burning 
question.  Why are we forced to learn the basics of mismanagement from their 
mistakes?

I am truly glad to hear that after all the years, it's still fun.  Now, 
should I ask Rose if she agrees?
