We were going about 20 years ago for our 25th anniversary, but that was the year the hurricane wiped Kauai. So we went to Maui instead. Thought about it this winter, but wife is going to a college sorority luncheon in Houston, and then the South Pacific trip. Have a fun, warm trip, Tim. |

Yeah, good people like that deserve better treatment... Harry's version of the incident was that he observed her from afar at the show. It seems that she was talking with someone and he didn't want to interrupt. Does that sound like Krause? Truth is that he was too embarrassed to face her after he'd recently dressed her down on rec.boats for voicing a political opinion; being a woman and all. Krause has a history of treating women shabbily on rec.boats |

I doubt he has started one thread this month. Say what? (How dumb does that sound?) You sure keep in touch with your big buddy! |
