Wow. Sad news. I have followed Charlie's story since the beginning. Both through Duckworks and John Wellsford's site. How did you find out about this news Steve? When did it happen?

What a disappointment for him. Steve _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats No virus found in this incoming message.
