Saturday evening, before dinner time, we all were sitting around the table at the crew lounge talking. Paul Norton and I got to talking about 7/8ths, and he brought out a short gondola he had built from a Hartford kit. We had talked about it earlier in the day, so I was glad he had it on hand so I could check it out. He’s replaced the white metal grabs with brass, stained and weathered the wood a bit, and done a great job on aging the metal. I complemented him on it, and he said “It’s yours, for all the work you’ve done for us all on LSC”. I was, and am, touched and humbled beyond belief. Paul, thank you very much.
And you deserve it.
