White baseball cap that says "Washington" on the brim and "DC" on the face of the cap.  On Friday, Aug. 21, Cliff Sullivan, Maryellen Tucker's nephew, turned his sailboat over and was picked up by a nice family who were visiting friends on the lake.  Cliff does not know who owns the party-boat that rescued him, but he left his cap on the front of the party-boat.  Please call Cliff at 205-807-1137 or 205-655-7312, or e-mail him at cliff_sullivan@aero.bombardier.com.
