Isn't life funny that way, though, how everything came back to you?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I found "Follow Me" in the Potter classifieds; I never even heard of Frank Winans at that time. But when I told Dory I found a yellow P14 nearly the same age as his, he asked "was that Frank's boat?" I asked, and it was! . Dory was very close friends with Frank, and sailed together often. The boat came with some misc. stuff, and that included a picture of #182 (not this one) at some event wayyy back B4 I was born. In the background, there's a little red boat... Yep. 610, "Petit Liege", Dory's boat. . Anyways, it's funny how stuff goes like that, that I'd find a well-known boat unknown to me, and how it came back to Dory.
