Re: Departed Members [ was Cal 27 rub rail cap]

This seems as good a season as any to remember members who have set sail for the sunset. We were fortunate to have Roger Jones sail with us on our Cal 29 in the Good Old Boat Regatta in Annapolis one year. And we were among the many beneficiaries of his generosity. (For those who may not know it, Roger was the source for the Cal 29 beam blueprints that so many of us have used over the years.) And while we're at it, let's raise another glass in memory of Brian Cleverly, who we lost when he was on the verge of going "walk-about" on the Pacific. There's hardly a member on this list who has not benefited from his sage and hard-earned advice, if not directly then passed along by those of us who knew him. These were two skippers who loved boats, and loved Cals especially. They are missed, but their gifts continue to make us happier sailors. Best wishes to all, Alfred Poor 1973 Tartan 34C #288 "Jambalaya"
