For all who are wondering....YATCH is not misspelled. Mr Tonkin told the story of being in a hurry when signing up and noticed the misspell just as he pushed the POST button.

I suspect every FReeper has noticed a misspelling just as they post. LOL!

Back then you were stuck. Now, you can ask for a correction, and even change your name and keep your original sign-up date.

I still get calls from vessel owners asking for inspections. He was the man to go to.

Thank you for this thread, Ma. I’m sorry I didn’t get to post on it in a timely fashion, but we’ve been attending a funeral of a family member out of town this weekend. I will never forget Brian — he made a mark on my life. And I expect he’ll be waiting for us whenever God calls us home — with flowers by a fireplace for the ladies and a hearty slap on the back for the men. I sure do miss him!

You’re perfectly timely. I’m still trying to catch up. He sure did make a mark on alot of our lives. I think you are so right about the flowers and back slaps. LOL! *HUGS*
