[Rhodes22-list] Re-learned how to read

[Bill Effros]

Ben,

Good to hear from you.  By complete coincidence I stumbled across a 
hurricane picture of Velvet Elvis yesterday and was thinking of you.

If it makes you feel any better, I haven't had the time to sail this 
year, either.  My boat is on the water, and I hope to get in a sail 
before August 29, but I long ago realized my sailing season this year 
would start on Labor Day.

Welcome Back!
