Hi Gordon, I have a pad at our dining room table to jot down sudden thoughts, and I haven't even begun to page through my old Log Books.
I just hope that I collected things like a thank you letter from a French lock keeper (jobs that French veterans got) in my Log Book. He had asked me for US stamps as he was a stamp collector, seeing the American flag on the stern of our power boat as we were transiting his lock. In those days, all our mail coming into our Paris office, from our Hartford, CT office still was covered with US stamps, so I collected several day's worth of incoming stamps and sent them to him. The letter I got back was the most painstaking and beautiful exercise in calligraphy you could ever imagine. It was written on a lined pad using a crow quill pen. It was a work of art, by a man that probably only had had an Elementary School education. Just collecting all the reminiscences is already a fun job. Thanks for prodding me to get serious about doing it. Connie _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
