[Rhodes22-list] Still Looking

[G & D Barrera]

Jay

Good to meet you at SS in Chgo. along with seeing again the usual list of
suspects: Rik & Sandy, Ken & Jo, Ron & Becky, Dan & Julie, George & Jan (on
the cusp), Bruce Chisolm, and of course Elton (no rain, and rather mild for
January).
Seemed like the boat was always packed with lookers, and hopefully,
potential buyers. Glad you were there with Elton.
