Sunday's Courier-Journal contained a good article by longtime columnist Byron Crawford on the need to SAVE THE DELTA QUEEN. A color photo (probably from the 1980's) of the DQ, on the Upper Mississippi with beautiful fall foliage as background, is featured with the article -- in which Franz is also quoted!
The AMERICAN QUEEN was at the wharf this morning as I crossed the bridge into downtown Louisville. It's good to see her back up here on the Ohio after a long absence.
Here´s the link to the article

That pix is sometime between 1979 and 83 - still the portholes in the splashboard which went in '84, and no Voyages to America banner which went after the '78 season. Good article, and even accurate!
