Sad indeed!
Do you sail on Flathead Lake?
I ask because there was a Ranger dealer around there in 1980, when I was selling new Ranger 20's and Ranger dinghies in Portland.
He was using the interesting business name the "Quiet World of Bikeology" or something like that.
I recall that some R-20 sailors trailered over to Portland for a Nationals from there and from Nevada. Good times!
