[Rhodes22-list] The Rum Runner

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I have been out of touch of the list for the last two months sailing my Rhodes on the B.C. Coast and did not know of Rummy's passing. I will miss his presence in my life. He was a most generous person. He served his country, family and touched the lives of so many. The wind is at his back and the sunsets shall ever be red.
