Red Bank, New Jersey
Dear
Mark:
Just a
note to tell you how wonderful it was to visit with you and the rest of
the Red Bank Gang on January 25/26.
I have been coming down to the clubhouse for
over 40 years. There has always been a warm hospitable reception for me,
my family and other members of the Hudson River Ice Yacht Club; however,
this weekend you outdid anything I have ever seen before.
It is sad to see so many of your past
members have passed away, but time marches on. The new breed at
your
clubhouse is doing a wonderful job of carrying the traditions of ice
yachting forward.
Sincerely,
John H.
