Findings in V. S. Eifert's "Delta Queen"

This are the first two pages of my copy of Virgina S. Eifert's "Delta Queen - The Story of a Steamboat". Obviously a passenger won this book in a poem competition on October 1960 (anyone remember this as part of the entertainment program?).

Signatures are from:

Mary Greene Cleary, Social Director S. S. Delta Queen
Happy Briscoe, Souvenirs
Marty Stouder, Asst. to Purser
Paul H. Underwood, Captain
Bruce Edgington, Watchman
Albert S. Kelley, Pilot

At the end of the book, many co-passengers did sign, too, but I didn't find any familiar names there.

In reply to the question about the poetry contest on the Delta Queen, yes I remember that. In 1950, my father won an honorable mention for his poem. I still have the newsletters that were printed out every day.
