How are things? What's up with you? You and T2x should come to the city for sushi some night. Drag Philip and Kim with you.

Philip, glad to hear things are good. Sorry to hear about trouble with the egg beaters. I've decided that the Gods are punishing you for never giving me a ride!

We met at Doug's a few months ago.......
Elbie has had some rough times...and the entire Shadow catastrophe was caused by two things..... a Real Estate deal that he got into which was way over his head...on Rte 15..... and a side deal ( based on desperation from the deal above) he tried to make with an ex racer involving the 36 foot Shadow plug..... (the one I burned in anger)... which was the basis for the lawsuit and settlement I received.
While George and I were involved, the company was profitable, on the cutting edge of technology, successful on the race course, developing new hulls, supporting a dealer network, and delivered products on time. After we left, all of that ended, and buyers were allowed to spec their own boat's construction (most of which broke), the company lost money, nothing was ever again delivered on promised date, no new products emerged, wheeling and dealing ram amuck, and dealers canceled relationships.
Other than that, Elbie's health has been deteriorating, his wife and best friend passed away, and he has retired to his cottage next to......."The old boatyard".
I visit from time to time..... and my heart goes out to him, but he made his own decisions.

My mother who is in her 70's had a house there and
