*Passing of Ellen Prudent*
Steamboating colleagues:
Many thanks to Vic Canfield for posting the passing of Ellen Prudent, Frank's mother. Though expected, such news is always sad. I had avoided any phone calls or E=Mails to Frank this week knowing of her failing health. Ellen, wife of well-know steamboat engineer, Bill Prudent, was a charming, quiet lady I had known for years. A number of times it had been my pleasure to share social evenings in their fine Cincinnati Home. Bill Prudent had been a long-time friend of my late Uncle Thomas Flick dating to their canoe adventures on the Ohio River here near California, Ohio and CONEY ISLAND as youths. Sympathy to Frank, his sister and brother along with the entire Prudent family. I will make every effort for the visitation on Sunday.

My sympathy to Frank and his family. After a visit with Frank last weekend for the Board meeting I was hoping she had made a turn for the better. So sorry to hear.

My most sincere condolences to Frank and his family in their time of sorrow. I well remember his gracious, friendly, and loving mother Ellen from my many trips to Cincinnati over the years and her visits to Louisville while his father was Chief Engineer on the BELLE OF LOUISVILLE. She came from a different time when parents raised their girls to be true ladies, something many of todays female youth would do well to emulate. It was a pleasure to have known her and to have been in her presence. Ellen, rest in peace.
