Silversides, engine run and special visitor, 5/13.
« on: May 14, 2012, 09:19:03 AM »
 We took on fuel this week and got a good run on # 3 & 4 main engines. We had lots of visitors including a west Michigan camera group and one special visitor. Jillian Thompson who is writing a paper for her masters on diesel boats. She is gathering material on diesel boat operations, restoration and preservation projects. She will be visiting Tom & Lesley next on the Drum. This should be interesting for all those involved with, and interested in the boats. I will keep you posted. Frank
