[Rhodes22-list] Hit by a car, can my rhodes be saved?

[Alex McKenna]

Hank,

I will call Stan Tuesday and see what he thinks, and if he has some older
boats for sale.

I think getting money from the insurer will take a while, and it will be a
small amount.

Perhaps my family can go sailing this summer another way.

Thanks,

Alex
