Maybe it was hot, but we were sooo cool. Rest of world, eat your heart out. After all, we had extremely important jobs of responsibility on the Steamer Delta Queen, a mind boggling thing.

Keith, are those cutoff Levis with little anchors on them? Impressive!...really, Lexie is right, it is cooool...and I admire the guts of the combo, cutoffs with uniform shirt and epaulets?
Great stuff...Lexie, PLEASE keep 'em coming...

In going thru some old pictures I found this one with some notables in it. I took this one after the Great steamboat racs in Louisville in 1979. The first 4 from the left are gonna be easy for most on the board...but the last two before the Watchman are hard so I will tell you who they are, Jeff Spear and in white and obscured by him is Frank X. Prudent.

Travis, could you re-post the picture...as a picture not a web-link...nothing to see here, folks, at least not with either Firefox or Safari! Thanks!

I clicked on it and Safari downloaded it to my Mac where it opened just fine in Preview.

Safari downloaded to my Mac in about 5 seconds...

OK, my Mac with OS 10.3.9 reads it as a blank page..oh, the download shows as a blank page, not a jpg or jpeg file. It opens up Preview and all that but there is still nothing to look at. No big deal...maybe my Mac is just so...special...

Amazing! After all the gliches with posting pictures for the first time, that one came right up on my pc. I was wondering about those cut-offs with anchors myself. That was way back before things got, well, I have a word in mind, but it may not be postable, so lets just say, picky. Picky, picky, picky.

Lex: As I dimly recall, you encouraged me to don those nautical cut-offs that hot day -- and since you were MATE, you wuz my boss! Dave Tschiggfrie's were similar and I'll have to look for that photo. Indeed, back in those "GOOD OLD DAYS", things were MUCH different. I remember many of the crew members sunbathing and playing Frisbee (Capt. C.S. Ware always called it a "FEEZLE"!) at Kentucky Lake. On that trip we went through the Barkley Canal and cruised in the Cumberland River for a while. I also recall playing the calliope on a Sunday afternoon while we were all the way DOWN in the chamber at Kentucky Lock and all the citizenry for miles around must have been on the lockwall. Talk about LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More on uniforms
This is a photo taken of Jim and me for a brochure. We have NEVER worn these outfits to work.

Typical uniform
This is what I usually wear to work, although the shirt is more often a tank top. That's a Steamboat Willie t-shirt that I wore for an ABC news crew that was at Caddo Lake doing some environmental reporting. I am doing the fireman's job. No cutsy uniforms allowed.
