helping a club member

Good evening all. I was speaking to a friend and club member today. As our economy brings people to further depths of financial ruin,I am reminded that its not just the Joe Everyman but other successful people as well. Iknow its hard to screw up any sympathy for broke lawyers and doctors and such, but here goes. This gentleman friend of mine called practically in tears because just about all his savings,retirement and investments are GONE.I don't know all the details but this man is genuinly one of the good ones who got absolutly wiped out. If you know of any one who would be interested in a Riva Ariston, he has one for sale. I'm not sure of the year, I'll get back to you on that. He's had it for 30+ years on Grand Lake in Colorado..Boat house kept in the summer and stored inside on it's original cradle in the winter. Meticulusly maintaned w/ all original interior and engine. He also has some of the Riva toys that go with, like the Riva unberella etc. He is asking 100k, which from what I understand is about 2/3 of what its worth. Let me Know if any one is interested. Thanx Peter.
