Port Arend, 1959
A fine October day. That's Susan Hutchinson on the dock, shaking a kink out of the heavy bow line she's about to hand up to the family "fish tug", the Laura Marie, named for her late and legendary mother-in-law.

The 50's ~
Murray Skynard, whose Little Eagle Press prints the Port Arend Achiever, zips toward his back door. He's seen McCarthyite Mrs. Brumsfeld coming out the front. She says he leans so far left he shouldn't even be able to ride a 2-wheeler.

Project: Couldn't find a kit I liked, so I'm working on scratch-building a 1:48 model 40'-ish tugboat from drawings I found on line. This is from cardstock "steel" and is to remain under construction in the little Port Arend shipyard, never to be finished.
