While going thru some old files I found a collection of old letters that were apparently saved for intertainment value. Offering to share them with you, I hope none of them were FROM you! Dear Mr. Montgomery: I just bought a 1975 Montgomery 17. I would like to know the name and function of the round thing about the size of a cup between the black piece and the door? Also, how does one put the sheets up? Dear Mr. Montgomery: We have one of your sailboats and we have enjoyed it but the kids get tired of going slow and want to waterski. My brother-in-law has offered to let me use his old motor, which is a Mercury 40 hp but it looks like it won't fit on my boat. Do you have any suggestions? Should I remove the rudder? Dear Montgomery People: I have one of your boats and I'm having some repair work done and the repairman asked me if I could contact the factory and find out the proper color to use. Could you tell me what the color is? I think it is a 1977 model. Dear Sirs: I have a lightweight sailboat that seems to be leaking. Do you think I should fiberglass it? How would I go about that? Do you have any scraps of fiberglass laying around that you could send me? My daughter is in the Girl Scouts. Dear Sirs: I would appreciate it very much if you could help me by answering some questions. I just started sailing and when I go towards the beach the boat tips more than when I'm going away from the beach, and it doesn't appear to like going to the beach because it will not turn one way. Any hints? Dear Sirs: I have a chance to buy one of your 26 footer MacGregor sailboats but I hear that they tip easily. How much wind will they take before tipping too much? The boat has a 15 horsepower motor. Is this enough to get me in fast if it gets rough? Dear Sirs: Last weekend while driving my boat down the hiway, a tire fell off. Could you tell me why this happened? My boat is only four years old. Should tires be lubricated? Jerry

Thank you for taking care of us Keith. Some one earlier noted the GNU link from the web site. The first time I used grep I thought it was the greatest development of my life time. I mean, after puberty. I bet what the Egyptians built after the pyramids was a lot easier to use. I realized today that TV was better in black and white. And a big game is better on the radio. For my favorite team, a game started like this: "Toe meets leather". They are only three words. What more needs to be said? Your radio voice probably said something like that which you will never forget. No matter how long it has been since the voice went silent. Even with the yellow line TV comes up short. I watch TV games with the sound off. My wife asks how I know what is going on. I ask why the announcers do not know what is going on. Do they have to read so much that they can not look at the field? Do you think camera operators know that fans like to see what the receivers are doing BEFORE the ball is snapped? I know what the quarterback looks like. What about the formation? Remember when coaches said they got out coached, instead of blaming the players? Music still sounds better to me when it is performed by people who know how to play it and sing it. Even if they are fully dressed. Suggestion: take lessons first, then think about getting undressed . Think about it a lot. I remember when the Christmas season started tomorrow, not weeks ago. Santa rode a fire truck and a lot of kids had Christmas because of firemen and police officers. I remember when a Christmas tree was a tree and every one looked different. I am not completely opposed to change. I can accept fiberglass. I love wood but I can reluctantly live without it. I can not accept a jet ski. Maybe those are some of the reasons that I like my little Montgomery sailboat and you sailboat people. Happy Thanksgiving. Steve R. Lexington, KY M-15 #119 stever(a)mail.saabnet.com
