Sometimes you run into people that really lean over backwards to be helpful -- we sure did today! Many, many years ago, Forry and I bought a sailboat, a 23 foot San Juan (all after we had gone to Sailing School in the Virgin Islands for our 25th wedding anniversary). After we moved to Spokane, it sat in its trailer in the driveway for the next eighteen years. When we sold the house, our son-in-law Todd hauled it down to Oregon and has spent the last couple of years restoring both the both the boat and the trailer.
Todd has been trying to get the trailer licensed, but no one can find the title for it. He got a temporary 30 day permit, but really needs to get the paperwork for it. We sent into Ritzville to the Adams County Auditor today to see what we could do. Nancy Crossler, the Auditor, spent almost an hour trying to get an answer from the State of Washington. (Because it has been so many years since it was licensed, there is no record of it in the State's computer system.) We finally filled out an Affidavit of Loss/Release of Interest which she certified. Hopefully, along with a Bill of Sale, it will do the trick for him. It's truly nice to run into a public servant that makes such an effort to be helpful!
There was a vendor at the corner of the Interstate in Ritzville selling Hermiston watermelons and cantalope. Of course, we picked up some to take home. I do love this time of year!
