Dry Dock. Bill has a neat boat up at Lake
Sherwood but, for some reason or other,

the boat under the dock and today the boat
is doing the unusual task of holding up the
dock. Certainly a new maneuvering in ship-
ology.

place June 15 at Bill Happel's Wilshire
Country Club. Participants: Bill Happel of
Badger; Dan Donohue of Seeburg; Bill
Wolfe, San Diego operator; and L. B.
McCreary of Mape Music Co. The four-

tion.
