Lon,
Personal Check or Money Order will do fine. By next week I should be able to get things into more structured order. My condolences to you on losing your mentor. He seems to have passed along the right mindset to make quick work on something like TENNESSEE. If I recall correctly, this plan is as plain and simple as the boat, all on one sheet I believe. Having built a skiff before might be helpful. On the other hand, you seem to have a broader background in getting matters started and finished and might indeed be all set to get going. Folks in this forum will likely be an invaluable asset to encourage you and help out with well-proven suggestions. And Payson''s books will help a lot as well.
Yours, Susanne

Susanne when is the best time to order the plans and how is the best way to get the money to you. i am sorry to hear about Mr. Bolgers passing and i hope that things will settle into a better situation for you soon. i look forward to hearing from you and cant wait to start on my Tennessee. it will be named "Henry's Memory" after my father who passed away some years ago. he loved building things and i learned alot from him on how to use blueprints and plans to build just about anything. take care and let me know what proceedure to follow to obtain the plans. best wishes Lon Arnecke --- OnTue, 8/18/09, Susanne@...<philbolger@...>wrote:

Lon,
sorry about this, but you are not alone having wait
for replies. My energy-levels and pressing matters here and now do for the
moment allow only limited responsiveness, despite better hopes and intentions on
my part. Phil set the price for TENNESSEE at $75.- (to build one boat)
ages ago and there it stands. Despite my greatest intentions to sell plans
and deposit checks etc. I am only gradually gaining momentum in this new phase
of life without Phil. Lot's of issues to resolve, in-house practies to
adapt, piled-up must-dos to clear - and indeed a few aging checks to cash after
I ready the plans for mailing... I appreciate your patience. My
apparent tardiness is not to discourage supporting the foundation of our
'business-model'. As someone suggested quietly a while back, the motto is
indeed 'in lieu of flowers, buy
plans...'

P.S. I am in the final stage of designing Phil's Memorial Stone to be placed in a City cemetary. As a secular monument I am free to use the surface as a 'canvas' to outline who Phil was in a brief bio and with examples of his work; think PB&F letterhead as a starting-point and add. It is not everybody's idea of the average grave-stone. My intention is to have a reasonably permanent Memorial that shares fundamentals of his life and work with those who might pass by ages from now, or with those in town a month from now, who know all about him but still like to reflect on their personal connection with him at that location.

Try asking them again, there was a recent tragedy in the family, which may explain the delay. A lot of people report that communication via fax (978) 282-1349 works. I have had success using postal mail.
