Ahh, for those heady days in the past when our dryland boater from Kansas
used to tout the accuracy of the "blue books," making an idiot of himself.


Poor Skipper. Last time we all missed him, he came back with a vendetta and
just wanted to fight with Chuck the entire time.
Too bad, he was entertaining when he was his old self. Just the thought of
him sitting in the cockpit of that Bilgeliner, capts hat on his head, in a
dusty cornfield would bring a smile to your face. All the old characters
seem to be disappearing....to be replaced by the likes of 'Dingy
Dan'.........pity!
