[Rhodes22-list] Canadian Rhodes

[Stan Spitzer]

After 50 years we have more coast to coast Canadian Rhodies than we know 
of; never having tried to keep track of their movements from owner to 
owner over the years.

Re a cb gasket, while we have them, at $75 and the cost of getting to 
Canada, you will probably be better served locally or via an internet order.
