Hi all,
I am new and first time poster so forgive me. After being gone from the Ohio for 25 odd years I had the privilege of returning home.
I and my wife visited with very old friends at Queen City Riverboats, LDB 468.5(+/-) Ohio River. Those of you familiar with this location will know my friends, Capt. Robert Nolan and Capt. Dennis New.
I had the advantage of recognizing them, while they were at a loss as to my identity, a fact I attribute to my ever increasing good looks!!!
We were shown the fine vessels and reminisced of friends lost to old man river.
So Captains Whitey, Tony, and my river mama Virginia, I promise to keep the stern wheel turning .

Lake George NY
I am in Lake George NY, where today I rode all 3 boats of the Lake George Steamboat Company, the parent of New Orleans Steamboat Company. As I've posted previously, we don't post just to be posting something. When we have something of interest to post, we do. And oftentimes we are doing other things which preclude posting, such as what I am doing this weekend. As I also mentioned previously, if you like the stream of consciousness type postings, please go to Facebook and find the many sites which offer instantaneous responses on picayune items.
