Mary Lou:
The connections are beginning to get spooky.  The arts seem to tie us together, as well.  In addition to teaching and copping, I also write (yes published).  I do mostly poems (you know that) and one-act plays.  I teach a lot of Lit: short stories, poetry, film & drama. Did you like the poem in my original post of this string?
Paul Leo, a police sergeant in UD, is now the Hatboro District Judge.  (know him?)
Nice photo of "Fretless."  I will name my boat "John Dawson."  He was one of the original founders of Hatboro.  He was a hatter (thus the name of the town). Thanks for the info.  It's a big help.  See you around.
Joe

Hi Joe,
First the boat stuff. You can (sort of) see 
Fretless's lettering in the pic I sent to the list a few weeks back:
http://www.rhodes22.org/pipermail/rhodes22-list/attachments/20100426/9712259f/attachment.jpg
I probably have a pic somewhere that shows the 
name lettering on the stern and the numbers on 
the bow. Let me know if you want me to dig it up.

We probably do know some of the same people 
though most of my acquaintances over that way are 
in the library world. I was the Library Director 
at UD. The library there is a department of 
township government so I was a colleague of all 
the other department heads including police chief 
Terry T. The Township Manager was my boss. My 
husband Fred worked for Rohm & Haas. We were also 
involved in the music business (Philadelphia Folk 
Festival and Sellersville Theater). We moved to 
Rock Hall on the Eastern Shore (west of 
Chestertown, well south of the Bohemia but just 
north of the Chester River) when I retired in 
2006. Fred retired from R&H in 2001. We kept the 
boat down here for 5 years before we bought the 
house. I decided to retire after we bought the 
house we live in now and we found out what we 
would clear by selling the house in Ft. 
Washington. We still work a little - we walked 
into part-time jobs with the local performing 
arts center (125 seats). Fred hires the acts and 
I do the publicity. It is interesting to us that 
we don't do as much sailing now as we did when we 
lived in Ft. Washington and spent nearly every 
spring, summer and fall weekend on the boat in Rock Hall.

Best of luck with all your moves. My daughter 
lives in Rocky Mount (I know - NC is a big state)
