He had long spoken of plans to move to the Pacific NW and purchase a larger boat suitable for long range cruising, (without "auxiliary" fuel cans lashed to the gunwales). I don't think anybody really knows if he ever moved out of Kansas or bought a larger boat, but....... I was buying a hot dog at the little kiosk outside of the Tacoma branch of Home Depot earlier this year when I noticed two guys standing a little ways from me at the counter. It's been maybe 8 or 9 years since I last saw him in person and I wouldn't claim to be able to recognize him- but as soon as I saw those two gentlemen something in the back of my mind said, "Hey, one of those guys is Dave Mann....or somebody who looks just like him." The guy I thought might have been Dave seemed to looking at me in return, as if trying to place my face. (Probably wondering in which nightmare that scary visage had last appeared). :-) So it coulda been. Could also not have been. I didn't ask. If it wasn't him I didn't want to have an awkward conversation with a total stranger, and if it was him I didn't want to have an awkward conversation with Skipper. Funny somebody brought him up here, I don't think about the guy twice a year. |

Funny somebody brought him up here, I don't think about the guy twice a year. He did have a way of making almost everyone else in the group appear sane and on good behavior. |
