Bronze 3

Bronze 2 featured Reinauer only fotos.  With new boats around, I feel compelled to update. Welcome to the sixth boro . . .  Ruth M. Reinauer, 4000 hp.

I wonder how JoAnne looked when launched in 1970.

Let’s round it out with Zachery, 3000 hp.

I’m thinking Ruth might be the first of a new class.
