[Rhodes22-list] Outboard To Tiller Link

[Leland]

Art,

Of course it didn't make sense to an Annapolis grad--wasn't written in navy
blue crayon.

I went to Kansas State and it was a sad Saturday with the shellacking
Syracuse gave us.  To make matters worse my son and his buddies were home
from Syracuse for spring break.  I was an island of purple pride in a sea of
orange fanatics.

GO ARMY!
