[Rhodes22-list] Hit by a car, can my rhodes be saved?

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Chris,

Why so hopeless, really do you consider is beyond repair?  I suspect Alex might get the snaps to Rodger Rookey (sp) at Big Water Marina, Starr, SC.  I'll supply the number somehow, although Rummy may have it handy.  He did the repair on John Lock's boat.  Do you regret his efforts, John?
