Yes. :-) I started with thread one: Rich, 1 shirt; thread 2, Skip didn't say; thread 3, I'll take at least 1, thread 4, one for Lionel; thread 5, Bill wants 2; thread 6, the Woodworths want 4; and thread 7, you'd like a couple. So I counted 11 so far. I'm surprised at the great response, too: Rich had a great idea! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Howe" <Thomas@ThomasHoweOnline.com> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2004 7:33 PM Subject: Montgomery Tee Shirts Thread History Did your count include a couple for me? I was astonished at the speed of the snowball. -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats On Behalf Of Honshells Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2004 6:29 PM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Montgomery Tee Shirts Thread History Rich Cottrell started the thread, asking if such a tee existed, because he wants to wear one in the Boston Marathon this year. I suggested, tongue-in-cheek, to Bob that he should offer to create one since Rich had offered free advertising, and implied that Bob could probably sell a bunch of 'em. But I was also genuinely interested. I asked the question of the List, still unanswered, whether anyone out there had the graphics-design skill to come up with a potential logo and graphics. The concept seems to be snowballing from there. I'm counting 11 tee shirts "sold" so far . . . :-) If Montgomery Boats/Nor'Sea commissioned and sold them, they'd have some additional advertising, and probably could move enough to cover the cost of having them printed (???) . . . --Craig 7. ---------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Howe" <Thomas@ThomasHoweOnline.com> Did I miss something?? I saw one request that someone create a Tee for the M boats, and now it seems that there are orders pouring in! Wouldn't it make more sense for someone to take the initiative, say here's a design, does it meet the general approval for the group, go get quotes for having them printed, find a place to warehouse them, find a clearing house for the fulfillment, and then ask for orders. I, also would like a couple, but I'm not sure that it's more than a pipe dream at present. Just my $.02.

I know I'd buy one personally if Bob commissioned them in quantity. Whaddaya say, Bob? Any artists out there who could come up with some attractive graphics and a logo? --Craig 2. ---------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: <fml162@aol.com> If it is anything like the boat itself, it will be the most t-shirt and the best buy for the money that is out there. Skip 1. ---------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Cottrell" <rc2222@pacbell.net> Does anyone know if Montgomery Boat Tee shirts are available for purchase. I'd like to wear one in this year's Boston Marathon.
