I was recently contacted from a voice from the past. An old friend and former narrator from the STR. NATCHEZ Michael Neal. We shared stories and updated each other on our lives and how they have changed. I sent him a copy of my "Sights and Sounds From Tall Stacks 2006" DVD and he just called with raves for my production. Even tho I am currently working on a riverboat casino on a motor vessel the steam from my NATCHEZ days still runs in my blood. The friendship and memories never leave me and it was funny that even tho M. Neal and I are away from the NATCHEZ, we still have dreams of her and her crew. I just wanted to share this fond memory and it just goes to show you that memories never fade. I sure appreciate them and how so many river people have touched me. I appreciate you all. Thank You.
