Just found this almost 20 years late! I lived on a houseboat and trimaran sailboat at River Heights Boat Yard (Marina & Yacht Club). Russell always treated me well, I considered him a friend. Back in the 70's we had a blast at River Heights! Phil Stiles, Dee the watchman, Bob the Sales/Mechanic and Russell the owner made the place Special. I'll never forget you Russell, the times on your yacht, the times at the clubhouse, you made me feel like family. Rest In Peace my friend.
