[Rhodes22-list] Newport boat show

[stan]

Michael,

Rose says to tell you she put up with this wild man for 60 years because it 
has been so much fun -  maybe because it was not only boat business :   it 
was Madison ave. and show business and night club acts and Tarrytown 
Contemporaries, sewers and all, to the first American inside the Soviet 
Space program and lots of crazier stuff in-between.  She turned out to be 
awfully tolerant for a former Mrs. Virginia (in the ardor of transparency: 
Disqualified at the finals by judge "Somebody Up There Likes Me" Jake 
LaMotta for being too sexy)
