Craig Doodle (Jeanie) died several years before Lyle passed away. (maybe 12 years before) She was a fabulous women and after her stroke was confined to a wheel chair. We used to hoist her into my Van when I picked both of them up for a day visit to the factory back in the early 1990s. She would sit in the wheel chair while Lyle pushed her around the shop. They were close. Lyle couldn't see and Jeanie couldn't walk. Miss'em. Neat Catboat...... Fair winds Bob Craig F. Honshell wrote:
The latest issue of "Good Old Boat" features two reader's photos on page 82. The Lyle Hess-designed catboat, "Doodle" . . . She's gorgeous, of course. Lyle himself is in the second pic. Wonder if Doodle will be at the "Hess Fest" . . .
I'll think I'll have to embezzle some money and quit work so I can attend the Hess soiree . . .
