Doug Kelch came from Northern Virginia with Seas the Day (1984 M-15)
and John Edwards brought Miss T (1983 M-17) from South Carolina to
exhibit at the Mariners' Museum Classic and Antique Boat Show on the
16th & 17th in Newport News, VA. The boats were items of great
interest at the show and I was surprised at the number of people who
had heard of the Montgomery (but hadn't seen one). John displayed a
map and photos of his recent jaunt around the US with Miss T and Doug
talked the talk with many of the old seasoned skippers and sailors that
came by. Two admiring fellows came back the second day of the show
with their wives so they could see the boats and a Tracker Boat/Bass
Pro rep. kept returning for another look commenting that these lovely
ladies were ideal boats for this area. Perhaps we'll see a few more
Montgomerys on the Chesapeake before much longer ??
Many thanks to Doug and John for taking the time and trouble to bring
their boats and show off the pride of our Montgomery community ! They
"did us proud" !!
