Does anyone know whether there will be a Museum Boat booth again this year? The plan of the week and other tabs are silent on the subject.

The Maritime Museum has "The Rusty Russkie," a 1970's vintage boat and they recently added the USS Dolphin (AGSS 555). Dolphin was recently opened to the public, so we'll have access to that as well.

Midway is there as well, so we can see what a "target" looks like. :-)

SOB,  I ran that last year and wanted to do it again, but last year, no one from the museum boats  was available to help so Ron and Gil watched it while I was at various meetings and this year they, as several other vendors,  are not going to be having a booth, due to the very high prices to have booths in the vendors room. So I am not going to do it. I wish there was a way to get it up where people could see and I'll of course be glad to talk with anyone about our museum boats as I know you are. I just didn't see asking LIB to spend the money for a table and electricity since it is a lot higher than just last year,  and then leave it unattended a lot of the time. 

 Maybe in Cincinnati things will be more reasonable.

I can recommend to anyone to go over to Lance's pages to see and learn about all of them.

Well all I wanted to do was change form to from, but somehow it posted again. Where's the button to delete a post?
