Owl:
My buddy Bernie got one of the last Valiant 42/40's built and I think he had almost $500,000 into it.

Why did I not get involved building the boat and selling them? I had many chances to do this but I never wanted to be a boat salesman.

Would " My buddy Bernie" be Bernie J as in Rogue Wave and as in the world greatest authority on the behavior of hinges in space Bernie?
