Going through my Bertram pics and found one from Pt Judith. No explanation needed.BH

Walter was quite a guy!!!

I always looked forward to a conversation with him at the rendezvous.......he had such a good view of life.

He was a good friend that I never met! I miss chatting with him. I still have his phone number in my phone.......just can't delete it.

Mark,

A good friend's wife passed away last year, in her late 40's, of a rapid leukemia. Her number is still in my phone list, and I doubt I will ever call it to find out what really...But it stays there.
I know, people like Walter and UV must have marked all of you, the old members.
On the other hand, life goes on... Lets make others think of us the same way we reminisce those two.

Walter was a great guy and is missed in Montauk.
I always peeked at his boat in Montauk Marine Basin when it was there for sale.
Sadly enough, I saw Carl Darenberg, owner of the marina (and contributor to our rendezvous) check on "BlueBeard" Labor Day weekend on the Saturday and he passed away on the Monday.

Life is short ... live to fullest and try to leave positive memories for those around you.

....and wow, how did I sneak into that picture ... there goes my witness protection program !! :-D
