New Faces Around SMBC
Gary and Jamie Henderson were introduced at
the July meeting. Gary and Jamie were taken
sailing by another club couple, Steve and Sue
Jones, about 4 years ago. Gary was smitten
and purchased an Interlake sailboat. Jamie
found the boat to be a little too small so Gary
began looking for a bigger boat. He came to
SMBC looking at boats for sale and ended up
purchasing Jeff and Brenda Kean’s O’day 23
and renamed it “Lucky Tohaver”. Last year
Gary started racing in the SMBC club races,
racing either the Interlake or the O’day depend-
ing on weather conditions. Gary and Jamie live
in Sharpsville, Indiana.
Doug and Shelley Drury
were voted is as proba-
tionary members at the
May meeting. They have
three boys: Sailor, Painter
and Hunter. Doug had a
29 foot sailboat on lake
Erie several years ago but
traded it for an AMF Pace-
ship 23 “Wrinkled Sheets”
when their first child was
born. They have docked
“Wrinkled Sheets” in
Frey’s Channel for a few
seasons but joined SMBC
this spring and are now
docked on the west wall.
The Drury’s live in Lima,
Ohio.
