I used to know one, long since deceased, who built boats for the Lake Erie crowds. He gave me a scale model of one he built and my daughter has it.<br /><br />He built his boats out of the finest woods in the middle of his barn on his farm. He ran the farm most of the year and fiddled with boat building in the winter.<br /><br />He made more money building one boat each year than he did farming all year long with all that work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558559381295017448.post-85709934387231278452011-07-19T13:45:42.253-04:002011-07-19T13:45:42.253-04:00Beautiful boats Jack, beautifully presented!

Yes, I am involved with the group that has formed to open the Tovrea Castle. They have formed a board of directors and my best friend David is on that board. He asked me to help him organize the docents and do the docent training.
