Don Silsbe Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 A good old boatbuilding/sailing friend of mine weighed anchor today, and crossed over the bar. Rest in peace, Don Rausch, and smooth sailing. He introduced me to B&B’s boats, and is responsible for my attending the messabouts. He was a great spinner of yarns, mostly true. And he taught me a lot about boatbuilding. He’ll be missed.

Chick Ludwig Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Yes, I'll miss him. I met you and him after I moved to the mountains, and Graham told me about y'all living near by. I didn't spend a lot of time with him, but when I visited you guys, I always enjoyed his stories and the knowledge he had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 I am so sorry to hear this, I know that he has not been well for some time. I too enjoyed his company at the messabout's and the time he spent with us at the Mystic Wooden Boat Show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Anderson Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 I only knew Don by his first name so at first I was not sure, but now I can remember speaking with him at a couple of Messabouts. I am sorry to hear this, but thanks for letting us know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
