Mel,
Above Terry's head is a set of antlers I presented to the DELTA QUEEN as the Calliope of the year award in 1978. They came from my Uncles store in East Providence, RI and fellow crew member emeritus Frank X. Prudent's Dad mounted them on that plaque and had the plastic sign mounted to it.
Wonder what ever happened with that thing....it has been over 20 years since I have seen it or thought of it!
My idea was to start a calliope duel back here at Louisville for the KDF Steamboat Race...and it never took off again...hence it lived out it's life on the DELTA QUEEN.
Now...Licensed Officers with sparkling wine? Not with todays rules!
Where'd we get a x-rated steamboat fan site going? He, he, he, he! When I write my book it will be hard not to include some of those stories and of course all the good ones the statute of limitations have run out on!

What happened to Kari; does anyone know? She was second mate on the DQ when I was watchman. Later she earned her first class pilots license and was one of the DQ's Cumberland River pilots. Last I heard she was out on blue waters, but that was fifteen years ago.

Yeah I heard that too Frank. were you on when I was Mate? I got Kari her first job as a cocktail waitress and then got her on the DQ Decking. When I was gonna go to the Memphis Mate, Master ,and Pilot school for Pilots license I gave up my spot for Kari so she could get her Mates License. Last I Heard about 10 years ago she was a Deep Sea Master and had a house in Coasta Rica.
