The last I looked, that mural is still there, but
covered by other things. Lexie still does some
commercial artwork to help pay the bills, and her river
paintings are a treasure! She did 3 murals for the
PRESIDENT when it became a casino. I've heard those
have disappeared. She's also done a couple of paintings
of the Natchez for the company office. She and I were
chasing the DQ during the Carter trip, as she was on
vacation. When we got to Hannibal, the idea arose to do
a Steamboat ONE sign. We sanded the plywood during the
Hannibal shore stop, and then she was asked to stay on
board to finish it. It was the Presidential Shield and
Steamboat One above it, and it was on the port
wingbridge when they arrived in St. Louis. She felt bad
leaving me on land to finish the chase, but I told her
not to pass on such an opportunity. She got to meet
President Carter in the pilothouse and talked with him
a bit. She also got an autographed picture for me to
make up for 'deserting' me!... She can never make it to
S&D because that is the best tourist season for them
and their boat .
