: NEW YORK, NY, September 13, 2008 -- Olin J. Stephens, Member #1 on the

Yes, and it was Capt. Rob who actually drew the lines of some of the more
successful yachts.

No, but Stephens wife, not knowing what to do with the half models she
has been left, has decided to give them to Bob. In turn Bob will flog
them for a kings ransom on flea bay, and brag ad-nauseum about it to the
group even as we read about her starving grandchildren.

Cheers
