This is my Father’s favorite stories about me as a child, Part One.


Once, one of my Father’s friends asked me if I had any brothers.

 

I replied by saying, “Yes, I have two brothers”.

 

My Father’s friend asked me what their names are.

 

I replied by saying, “Icky and Snake”.

 

Then my Father’s friend asked me what my name is.

 

I said “My name is Crackers”.

I attended the Fuse event, Ignite Your Fuse: Industry of the Port, epilogue


This is my fabulous meal that I ate in my King Manor apartment.  That meal was a great way to conclude a great Fuse event.

I found a manual typewriter in the Captain Office.  I have not seen, yet alone used, a manual typewriter for many years.

The Guest Quarters are smaller, yet more eloquent than many modern hotel rooms.



The Guest Lounge offers great views of the Great Lakes.

The Crew’s Dining Hall is rather simple, without cable TV or Wi-Fi service, because those had not yet been invented at the time of this ship’s construction.  I find it hard to believe that future generations of humans will grow up using technology that I first saw on Star Trek: The Original Series.



The ship's galley is where thousands of meals were prepared for both the ship’s officers and crew.



The more elaborate Officer’s Dining Hall, where officers wore their dress uniforms for meals.

I enjoyed listening to Kate Ferguson’s presentation about the Seaway Port Authority.



Kate Ferguson’s presentation lasted for about thirty minutes and covered many topics, from ships, to railroads, to trucks.  She told us all about the many types of freight that is moved to and from the Twin Ports.



I took many photos of Kate Ferguson’s presentation.  But, only a few photos are usable for my photo essay.
