Subject: Coras Pics

Here are he pics of Elmer at the Sterlet Reunion in 2005.
I had to play with them a bit since someone had tried to "fix" them and I had to fix their fix.

Caption for the top picture: "I was in the head a while ago . . . " He fumbles in his pocket and pulls out a roll of toilet paper.

Bottom picture: " . . . and I made a few notes." At this point he lets the toilet paper roll out onto the floor.

Subject: Thanks, Ric -

I know that they're not very clear pictlures, but they are all I've got of that memorable occassion.

From his introduction, he had the crowd in the palms of his hands (so to speak). Trouble was, there was no microphone, and Elmer was a "soft talker." They moved him around among the audience so that every one could hear his stories of the Sterlet during WWII.

Dex's "The few keep getting fewer," reminded me of Elmer's (as he called it) fifteen minutes of fame. He was just about the most popular man there, because he was the only one there that served on the Sterlet during WWII. He was interviewed by the Nashville newspaper (I think it was the TENNESSEEAN, and interviewed once more by our local paper when we returned home.

If you remember, we hooked up with you for the first time, just a day after returning from Nashville, when you were traveling to the east coast to work at the Jullett museum boat.

Speaking of the Russian boat. Has it been raised yet? Or are we waiting for it to deteriorate some more before deciding that it's in too bad a shape to be salvaged?

Thank you again,

Cora
