A reporter from the Huntington Post-Dispatch rode the AQ June 13-18 cruise and wrote a nice story which appeared on July 1. A link is posted below.

Thanks Jim, nice article and great pictures. Interesting pictures of the AQ taken through through the window glass of the River Barge ("Hey could I crawl all over your barge so that I can get some long shots of that great steamboat?") 😉
This is a tad appropriate timing. Deb and I just watched your Delta Queen 75th Anniversery video again last night. It's been awhile since we last watched it and it is very interesting listening to the big muckity-mucks of Delaware North and comparing DN's style to MAL style today. In that video, I still can't believe how the engineering crew let you get the camera so close to the moving pitmans. Great video by the way...
