We met Sheila Traut in 2009 at our first Melonseed Midwest Rendezvous (MSMR). We are a group of sailors who meet once a year to sail the little gunning dory, the Melonseed Skiff. Even though it had been a year, we inevitably start up in our friendships where we left off. Sheila was nostalgic in memorable MSMR fun times and people. She even had a quilt made with our yearly commemorative t-shirts. She wanted us to sign it as we were members of her family. She always asked about our families, was ready with a game, and was quick to laugh. Until we meet again, Sheila, sail on and watch over us.
