Well here it is middle of May already... Opening day was again well represented by BYC with 9 boats including an Officers Boat as Captain Ray Norton cruised Impressions down the Montlake Cut, and, following behind in the "P" category, was the BYC Parade Boat with Captain Rob Bruins at the helm. I would like to thank Mona Lisa Ryan and her crew (see Capt Ryan's article (?) for names) for putting a float together on such short notice. On May 7th, awards were handed out to the BYC members who stepped up when asked and have a made a difference this year.

I am here to say that all information given to me stated above is true. Going thru the Chairs was a great experience. Thank you all for your patience, forgiveness, and your friendship. After 36 articles and countless editing my time on the front/home page comes to a close. I have tried to keep the redundancy to a minimum as I wrote my articles. POINTS TO PONDER (FINAL TIME) The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin during World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo. There are four cars and eleven light posts on the back of a $10 dollar bill Ketchup was sold in the 1830s as medicine. Most lipstick contains fish scales. Yum. During the chariot scene in 'Ben Hur' a small red car can be seen in the distance. A rat can last longer without water than a camel. Thanks for Reading. |
