Evelyn and Ray Richer contacted me today.  First, Evelyn was very pleased their pontoon boat sold so quickly - the day after posting it here on the blog.  I'm always happy to know when we've been able to be of help.

Evelyn said a friend in Williamstown has a very nice canoe to sell.  He has it listed on Craigslist, but in case some of you don't go there, here is a link to it.  You can get in touch with him about it there.

Also, Ray has a couple of outboard motors to sell.  These are also listed on Craigslist, so if you're interested, here is a link for them.  The description sounds as if they'd be perfect for fishing.

Evelyn and Ray have been working hard to get their beautiful home ready to show, and the Evelyn said they will get the For Sale sign out this weekend.  I'm sure it will be difficult for them to part with their place, and they'll certainly be missed.  The Gallery on Loon Cove has been a very nice addition to Joe's Pond, and Ray's photographs and Evelyn's art work well known and appreciated.    Most Joe's Ponders know this, but new comers probably don't know that Ray built the road signs around the pond and Evelyn did the beautiful art work on them. They also were responsible for the sign on the pavilion.  Ray and Evelyn have been advocates for our loons and the "go-to" resource on all sorts of things for more of us than I can count.  It won't be easy to see them leave, but I wish them every success in selling their house and finding the perfect setting for to enjoy the next chapter of their life.
