My husband Jim Tedford and I just got our tickets for what sounds like a fun cruise on the Queen of Seattle later this month. Can hardly wait.

Earlier this year Capt. Jack Russell gave the two of us a private look at his Christine W... was delighted and oh so grateful.

I'm turning into a steamboat nut. I was reading a Civil Ear novel today, Escape from Andersonille, and reported to Jim "The most wonderful thing just happened! They got on a riverboat!"
