Hi Pelrad be happy to keep you informed about anything that I know of that's coming up. By the way I don't think we've met but with a call name like Pelrad & a father in Compass Rose then your mother I belive has been playing double handed bones & singing shanties since you were a babe yourself (at least 20yrs). Were you there to see her lose a bone through the floor boards on the dock this past Mystic, very funny. For no good reason I'd been carrying around a 3rd bone, it didn't even match my pair & I've no idea how it ended up in my bag but I just couldn't bring myself to do anything with it but leave it alone, it was much longer than what I'm use to, when your mother (if I guessed right & she is your ma) lost that one I knew why I had it & couldn't keep it any longer it was near to a perfect match. I've met your Dad a few times over the years but this was the 1st time meeting your mom, great folks. I do hope that I'm right after all this if not go ahead I can take a good swift kick. See ya, Barry
