Ralph,

I think that column understates the amount of help that Ralph has been to a
lot of us. Although I don't paddle a folding boat unless I'm out with a
friend in his Klepper ( I use one of those toy fake kayaks known as SOT's),
the advice you give in this mailing list and in your boat have been of
tremendous help to me.

THANKS!!

Yes, I did! :-)

I was alerted to the column by a friend and when I went to look at it
was knocked over to see my name there in that context.  I really don't
know the columnist, Shelley Johnson.  We talked on the phone once or
twice in the early 1990s when she was doing articles for a tabloid
sports giveaway east coast publication.  We may have met briefly at a
symposium in passing.  So I was very surprised and delighted.  Goes to
show that you never know how you may be affecting others by what you do.
