I’m in Edenton as I write this. I’m picking up a recycled 1988 Rhodes. We
did the sea trial this past Sat and Stan went out with us. GB is still
going with one full time employee (Tino) and some help from pt and friends.
The place has so much potential, I think the right person could really do a
lot with it. I really hope he finds someone to pick it back up.
