[Rhodes22-list] My Rhodes pigeon coop....

[Chris Geankoplis]

Ok Chris Greco,
	Too much of a coincidence.  I've been on the list for many years,
owned Rhodes for 35 years my first name is Chris I'm Greek and last name
starts with a G (Geankoplis)  So we have two Chris da Greeks on da list.
You will enjoy your boat more than you can imagine.

The other Chris G.
