[Rhodes22-list] beginning of the end

[Shawn Boles]

Stan:

I first encountered you some 27 years ago at the Annapolis boat show.  I
fell in love with the Rhodes 22 and your genius for engineering. It took me
twenty years to finally buy one , and I am sorry I was not wise enough to
buy one earlier.

At 74, I intend to sail Sweet Baboo until I drop.  She is the perfect craft
for Afternoon Gentleman's Sailing on Fernridge.

Thank you for all you have done.

Cheers,
Shawn
