I hope this attachment opens to the newspaper article where Mr. Heller says he will be coming to Chattanooga to look into "Plan B". He's talking with city officials there in case the New Smyrna Beach Plan does not work out.
Let's hope our beloved DELTA QUEEN gets a hold of his heart strings like she has ours and convinces him that an ocean site will not work for her. The support she receives on the inland rivers can not be compared.
One of our steamboatin' fans mentions Captain Way's words, I believe it was on page 129 of "Saga of the DELTA QUEEN", I could not find my copy to quote. Maybe someone else can add to this thread. There is hope she'll get to stay where she belongs - brown water all the way!!!!

With Phillip Anshutz apparently having his entire AEG empire---which is extensive World Wide--on the sales block, including Xanterra I suppose the disposal of the DQ would not even be a blip on the Company Radar. Possibly the Xanterra part of the organization would even be anxious to unload a single "orphan". ONLY theory on my part.

Would be nice if the steam engines could be running the day he visits, if possible. I think seeing it in person, hearing the calliope and whistle would be a good thing for Mr. Heller. Who knows, maybe he will love it so much he wants to take her for a cruise. 😀
