Steamboating colleagues:
Today marks the natal birthday for our friend and colleague Keith Norrington, Director/Curator at the Howard Steamboat Museum! I think I know how many years Keith has chalked up but will..Shhhhhh...keep that under wraps.
Have a great B-Day, Keith. I'd imagine you may...possibly...might...have a B-Day cake at work today? Enjoy and also best to your parents.

re: Old(er) age ain't for whims!

Keith, You keep having these birthdays and pretty soon you'll be an artifact too! Hope you had a good one.

Many thanks to all for the birthday greetings! Considering that I first visited the HSM in 1963 at age 9 (53 years ago!) and was volunteering as a tour guide under the tutelage of Mrs. Loretta Howard by the time I was 14, I guess it would be fitting for me to be cataloged as a artifact!
Keep UP steam!

Happy Birthday Keith!
Hope your having a good day and all is well. Just finishing up my Early Steamboats Directory: 1707-1849. Nearly 5,000 listings. I'm printing a few test copies next week. i'll send you a copy for a look-see. I'll send Dale a copy, too. Would appreciate your feedback. btw, do you have any idea where I can find information on John Kouns' account/timetable of the 1870 Lee/Natchez race. I can't seem to locate anything on it. I have many other accounts but can't seem to find the Kouns record. I'm trying to finish an article and would sure like to locate it. Again, Happy Birthday. A pull on the old whistle-cord to you my friend.

Thanks Jerry! I'll check on the Kouns' timetable and let you know.
