About the Owners (current and former)
Key and Jo Stage: Key graduated from the University of Oregon Medical School in 1973. He interned at the Oakland Naval Hospital and was a flight surgeon on the USS Forestal with Air Wing 17. In 1977-1981 he returned to the University of Texas Southwestern and completed a residency in Urology. Key was then in private practice, first in Vancouver, WA from 1981-1991 and then in Dallas, TX from 1991-1998. From 1998-2006 Key was on the faculty at the University of Texas Southwestern where he held the Paul C. Peters Chair in Urology. Key and Jo have been married for 37 years and have have two married daughters, Jennifer and Ammanda, and one grand daughter, McKenzie, age three. Key grew up on a lake in North Bend, Oregon. He remembers always having a runabout or sailboat around. His first sailing experience was on a 19' Lightening with his Dad. Other sailboats followed: 15' West White Potter and a 15' Skipjack. During two of his summers in college, Key crewed on the tugboat Titan. Titan hauled log barges from Coos Bay, OR, to Long Beach and San Diego, CA. Key and Jo have had Wren, their Flicka sailboat, since 2000. After retiring in August of 2006 Key started thinking about a larger boat. His initial interest in sailboats gave way to power boats as the Diesel Duck and some tugs caught his eye. While purusing YachtWorld.com he came across Sir Teady and the rest is history. Besides boating Key enjoys woodworking and is an amateur radio operator, KE5ICP.
