A Few Thoughts from the Ohio Branch Office (or is that the Crown Pointe district office?)

Charlie and I are very glad that winter is over and are at long last back at the boat. Weather is beyond great, it’s been spring monsoon season in Cincinnati. Four months of snow on the ground is a bit too much. Rufus hates snow almost as much as he hates swimming (which he has done three times from the boat). Apparently the cat thinks the water’s still to cold for a dip so far. We’ll be participating in the Blessing of the Fleet this year and hope we’ll see you there!
