Do you have a link to a photo of your Brick or can you upload a photo? Thanks.

> I have the remains of what I believe is the first Bolger Brick ever built. A number of years ago a fellow named Gordon Hathaway stopped at my shop to talk boats. We became friends over time and one day he told me the story of his Bolger Brick. According to Gordon he knew Phil Bolger when the Brick was drawn up. He commissioned a local boatbuilder in Mass to build the first boat. When it was completed he and Phil took it for a sail. Gordon was up in the years then, and his sailing days were behind him. He invited me over to see the boat and gave it to me. It was in sad shape having been outdoors in the Florida weather for a number of years. I took it gladly just the same. The hull was beyond salvage, but the sailing rig was intact. I placed it up in the rafters for a someday later rebuild of the rig and a new hull. I've been unable to reach Gordon for years now and I'm afraid he may have relocated to another part of Florida. In any case I am hoping someone may know more about this boat. I'd really like to find out who the original builder was. I know it was someone near Phil Bolger's home and it was a shop he used on a number of occasions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For Bolgerphiles like me, it was especially interesting to get to see
the Montgomary Boatyard as part of the Bolger Memorial flotilla last
year, and I took a few pictures...

That could be Dave Montgomery. From boyhood, Phil had a long association with the yard.
