Re: Kingston Messabout Successful
> a wonderful Messabout.I am soooo jealous!
...and cannot wait for pictures!
Thanks Bruce for a wonderful Messabout. Katie(the Sneakeasy), Sally,
and I arrived home in Maine about noon Sunday without incident. It
was a memorable time making new friends and riding in lots of boats.
No better way to spend the weekend. I gave lots of rides in "Katie"
but was most impressed with the young people that thoroughly enjoyed
their rides, I let each drive a while which seemed to be
inspirational for them! It was great fun! Thanks also to Chuck
Leinweber and Sandra for their care given to the participants, they
both helped out where needed and were interested in each and every
boat. I'm anxious to see the many articles that will surely appear
in Duckworks Magazine.

Thanks for the wonderful Messabout, Bruce. I had a great time.
Bruce is just a great host - what a party. For some of us up here
this was the first time we could "come out of the closet" and hang
with other boat builders.
Bruce set a record with TIMS. He also set a record for hosting the
first Canadian Messabout and, to the best of my knowledge, the first
bilingual (French/English) messabout.

Is "Small Boat Event Impressario" a valid career choice?

Many thanks to all who came. I have never had as much fun in one
