[Rhodes22-list] Dazed and Confused

[Bob Garrant]

Hi Benjamin
As of today, General Boats is still operating. I consider myself indeed
fortunate that I was able to purchase my 2000 Rhodes from Stan last year
I exchanged emails with Stan today and spoke with his part-time assistant
Kristina by phone today as well.
Stan is planning to be at the 2018 Annapolis Boat Show.

Best wishes.
Bob.
