[john Belanger]

i noticed some white objects in the bushes behind the plant in those airial photos we saw last year. i thought they were boats waiting to be recycled.

BUT ED, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CANADIAN PARENT FIRM WHO MADE EARLY TANZERS? DID THEY GO BELLY UP TOO, AS I THOUGHT? 
THANKS FOR THE INFO., BUT WHEN WE VISITED THE EDENTON PLANT IN THE 90'S, THERE WEREN'T ANY BUSHES , JUST SAND, DIRT ROADS AND SHALLOW WATER. IT WAS SO LONG AGO THAT STAN'S MOTHER WAS STILL ALIVE, SITTING IN THE OFFICE. FOR YEARS HE HAD A COLOR PICTURE OF OUR DOCKED '83 IN LAKE GEORGE NY HANGING ON THE BACK WALL.

IF STAN TOOK OVER A FAILED TANZER '22 PLANT, BET HE GOT IT DIRT CHEAP!!

Also wise guys, Lake Memphamagog actually crosses the Canadian border, but as I remember it was pretty shallow compared to Lake Champlain.

"The lady hasn’t given us much information about herself, but even if she needs help, it will not be boat lift. And she indicated sailing a lake in Canada. Maybe it is a shallow Moose lake? "

Ed,

A shallow Moose lake??? No sir! Though I have seen a couple of moose, it's certainly not shallow. Lake Memphremagog is the name. Anyways, I'm usually just a listener. Don't feel I belong yet since I haven't made the big step.
