Gran, you posted a pic of Harold Burnham's boatyard this spring, and said he was probably a relative and that you were interested in him.

You must have just missed the launching of "Fame" a replica of a War of 1812 privateer he built last winter.

There is an article on replica ships in the current (October) 'Wooden Boat Magazine', and Burnham and 'Fame' are on the cover.

Grandmothers:

One little boy put it very well when asked what a grandmother was. He said: “A grandmother is a lady who has no children of her own, so she loves everybody else’s. Grandmas don’t have anything to do except be there. If they take you for a walk, they slow down past leaves and caterpillars. They never say ‘hurry up.’ Usually they’re fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes. They wear glasses, and sometimes they can take their teeth out. They can answer questions like why dogs hate cats and why God isn’t married. When they read to you, they don’t skip words or mind if it’s the same story again. Everyone should try to have a grandmother, especially if they don’t have television, because grandmas are the only grownups who always have time for you.”

Cheers guys.
