<br>Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Submarine in Santa Rosa
<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Guys, I heard a story today about a guy whos name was "Doc Brunner". The story is he had a submarine in his garage here in Santa Rosa, CA. When he died, it was sold to a local restaurant who may have put it in the faux lake behind the restaurant until the city had it removed. From what i can gather on its description, it may have been a k boat. I'm wondering if anyone may have any additional information as i have never heard of a k boat here.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="m_8015606816423385014m_3711532925879295479gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Best Regards,<br>David Colombo<br><img src="http://static.squarespace.com/static/533310a9e4b0fba62008a464/t/5339c1f2e4b041bac4e25d1b/1396294132055/?format=500w" width="200" height="110"><br>804 College Ave<br>Santa Rosa, CA. 95404<br>(707) 536-1424<br><a href="http://www.SeaQuestor.com" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">www.SeaQuestor.com</a><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></div>
