We probably sat next to each other at the Pacific Diner, or perhaps over an abalone burger at Googie's Lobster Pot at the dock on 22nd St. landing.

Your brother isn't a friend of Steve Dair or Gordy Elliott is he? Steve is now a sailmaker with his own loft in Long Beach/Harbor City, affiliated with Elliot/Pattison sails, I think and Gordy went off to be a boatbuilder in Bremerton. All this was way back in the early 70's and I only have a scattered contact with Dair these days.

Write me off-list and we can talk about it there.
