### Jim and Ann Dugan - Sellers of Bristol 51

Amanda Noon 0 COMMENTSs

Bernie,

Ann and I wish to thank you for all your efforts, time and devotion that you put into selling our Bristol 51’ sailboat. As you know the first two sales fell through. However you stayed with us all the way with guidance and encouragement.  
When we start looking for that next boat you will be the first call we make.

Thank you,  
Jim and Ann Dugan
