Subject: Frank Dye's Funeral

I attended Frank's funeral this afternoon, and can report that it was a very fitting service to celebrate Frank's very great achievements and example to so many, who have attempted to follow in his footsteps. His coffin was draped with the mainsail from his boat, W48, which couldn't have been more perfect for the occasion. The church was of course full with his family, many Wayfarer friends, and the local seafaring community. It was truly a very memorable service and a fitting tribute to his life.

Meet our new International Secretary, Al Schonborn (a.k.a. Uncle Al)
...

,,,
Uncle Al (W3854) is back on duty as the new Secretary of the Wayfarer International Committee. Like our outgoing Secretary, Poul Ammentorp, Uncle Al races and cruises his wooden Wayfarer regularly and with great enthusiasm. This will be Al's second stint as WIC Secretary, a position previously he held from 1992 through 2001. Many of you will already be aware that Al runs two Wayfarer web sites: the Canadian Wayfarer Associations Whiffle Web, and this, the WIC site. Uncle Al is always happy to talk/email Wayfarers with anyone and can be contacted by clicking here
