[Sonar] Young People Coming to Sailing

[Bert Foster]

Hans,
Good Job.  Lets have a psychologist check this 
out to see what was it that triggered the change 
in Bri and see if we can pass it along to 
others.  I always love to see enthusiasm for 
sailing.  Your reward for doing such a good job 
is that we will scholarship Bri to all 6 of the 
May seminars.  Sorry, but if you choose to 
attend, you will have to pay the membership discounted rate.
Regards,
Bert
