If Glenn119 is still reading this forum, it certainly would be interesting if he would do some postings about his grandfather, Edward H. and great grandfather, Herbert A. I would love to see the photo he refers to in his post back in 2006. There may be some historical events handed down to him through the generations, which he could share with us regarding his ancestors. Thanks RG and McDude for posting the wonderful photo of the Eagle in my earlier post, "Remembering the Steamboat Era". If we could only go back in time and walk into that scene to meet the cast of characters who were there that day. What a treat that would be! No doubt Capt. Herbert A. Blackstone (the builder), Capt. Charles F. Brown (the owner) and possibly Herbert's father and brother were there on that occasion, as well. It must have been a "big day" in Lakeport, bringing out the multitudes to see it launched.
