Comet Corner


Ed McLean -- sailor and friend to CRYC Comet sailors, a member of SSA, and a role model for the entire fleet -- was met with tragedy during what should be one of the happiest times of the year.  Ed McLean's lovely wife, Barbara, passed away unexpectedly from a brain aneurysm on December 30th. Our sympathies go out to Ed and his family over the loss of his very dear wife and companion, Barbara McLean.  The obituary:
