Mary Lou:
Upper Dublin? Holy crap! I am in Hatboro. I've been a cop here for thirty-four years (though I am not that old, really). I taught at Gwynedd-Mercy and at Montco. Community College (until this week, when the semester ended). We may know some of the same people. What did you do at the library?
Where are you in MD, on the bay? My buddy has a sailboat up on the Bohemia River at Hacks Point. I've sailed there with him lots. We will have to explore our mutual roots. Thanks for the help on lettering.
Joe

Hey Joe, Congrats on the new old boat.
We have the registration numbers on the bow on
the flared part of the hull. They are readable
there. The name is on the aft part of the hull
where it is flatter (below the Rhodes 22 emblem.)
We used 4 or 5" letters. Generally, you want a
name to be readable from a distance. If I was
doing it again I would have the letters spaced
out a little bit more for greater readability.
Which suburban Phila. police department? I spent
12 years in Upper Dublin Township (Montgomery
County) - library not police though we were in the same building.
Best,
Mary Lou
