Merlyn sent me this great photo of his beginning in the industry. Look at that beautiful paddle wheeler in the front berth!



From Merlyn:
"When I started out era, the ship in the corner was the old up and downer, the start of it all for me.
Also our firms paddlers.
All gone sadly."

Here's a dandy photo. Notice the man on the ladder, sans any PPE, soogieing or painting the accommodations block. There are mats drying on the aft boom.
