Haven't been here in a while. Just checking in. What happened to
Skipper? I read somebody's post referring to "the demise of Skipper."
What did he do, haul his Bayliner down to the coast and get run over
by a tanker?

I don't think anyone knows. Last time he was here was not a good
thing.

IIRC, Dave sold his Bayliner. 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.

Heh.

He did have a way of making almost everyone else in the group appear
sane and on good behavior.

He still shows up in the phone book in the same old place...... far
from water.....

According to the telephone records he still shows as a denizen of
Derby.....

Hey Harry, good to see you're still floating. I saw Chuck a few times
on the list, too. So Skipper just disappeared. Maybe the guys in the
white coats hauled him away. I'll be around...
