:: a note from barbi, paul's widow::

Thank you to all who attended the benefit on Thursday. I can not express to you how it feels to experience all the love and support you have given to me and my family. Paul's parents were even more amazed, as they are not used to this great community of boaters, musicians, friends, and fabulous wellwishers.

I want to thank Hot Buttered Rum for putting on an incredible show and making it personal, not just running through a list of songs. You made my little boy dance like a maniac (he gets those crazy moves from his daddy).

Thank you to the Grey Eagle for hosting the event.

Thank you to all the businesses, artists, and other folks who contributed items/services to the raffle.

A high five and a secret hand shake to Dave and Alison. Also to all the others who helped organize and run this event.

And a thank you to all of you.

That's it. Don't make me get any mushier. Now off with you!
