"Chukar"
All who frequent the MSOG E-mail forum will know the name Tom Smith. Tom has been a participant since its conception and continues to this day to be a source of information. Tom bought Chukar in 2000. He's been sailing various craft since the very early 80's and has taken Chukar to lots of locations in the Northwest. I met Tom when he purchased M17 #496 in the fall of 2005. He and partner Jane Van Winkle drove just about exactly half way (300 + miles) to pick her up and towed her back to his home in Washington with his 4 cylinder (22re)Toyota pickup. With two Montys in the barn, it's now reluctantly time to part with the M15 known as Chukar.
