Comment by Albert C. Venn Jr. on September 2, 2009 at 4:04pm - Joe, We did have some great times on her. I still keep in contact with Gary Moberg, Tracy Dronet, Mark Kane, Dewey Seagraves and a few other folks. Unfortunatly I had to attend Jeff Horsfall's funeral a while back. Oh Yea, a lot of TLC & a few Hail Marys to keep her running.
