Barry, Thanks for passing on Ted's editorial. Now I was under the impression Ted was a mere 79... I missed Sakonnet, and some of Team Goose down at Gooseberry, Saturday because I was home with my 79 year old mother who is ill, and barely gets around. Ted was an inspiration to me years ago at the Buzzard. He would set up his boat, go out and race all day, come back and play jazz piano for the rest of us until well into the night! And he did all this very well! I wish I had his skill and talent as a sailor, or as a musician! In response to his comments, I can only say "YEAH!" I am so happy to hear he's still sailing! I will miss the Summer Classic this year, but hope to see you guys sometime. Ted is a die hard racer, but has gone for a cruise or two, so maybe I'll have the pleasure of seeing both you guys at The Island Hop...I don't have much to offer to the cause, as I have so little free time these days, but if I can help with calls, or on line/e-mails, let me know! Thanks again Barry!
