Your invited to take a trip down the river and around the bend. This is a group to discuss river boat models, river history and anything concerning the river. Please feel free to discuss anything about these subjects or ask questions and hopefully someone will be able to answer your inquiry. I will be sharing stories about my Great Granddad and his life on the Ohio River. His riverboat models are on display at the Life On The Ohio River History Museum in Vevay, Indiana. Please stop in if you are ever near there. You can look at a spot of the river for a thousand years and when you come to the end of that time you will have seen just a fraction of that river.
Please feel free to bring up other subjects as well.
DO NOT POST ANYTHING RUDE, CRUDE OR SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE.
The moderator of this group will not tolerate any obscenity of any kind.
As the river runs past
Imagine what memories
Are carried along
Sounds from the past
Fall softly on the ear
The splash of the paddlewheel
A calliope playing a sweet tune
A passing boat answers
With a haunting whistle
Voices and laughter from
A time long past
A time that stands still
As present, past and future
Ripple together into Eternity.
