Don Silsbe Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Anderson Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
