I love this piece of "Trivia" the most ---

"Ownership and Management of the Winnipesaukee Steamship Company for which two additional tourist vessels were built - the Doris E (named for his wife) and the Sophie C (named for his mother)."

Then again, I'm "into that sort of stuff"


thanks for the post

What a great website. It is fascinating to me reading about the Hedblom history as well as the Mount's. A remarkable man with remarkable achievements and I enjoyed his family's comments remembering him. "When it was time to leave, Meme and Dindy would slip me a handful of candy for the ride home. I remember riding down their driveway, waving as I peered out the back window, and there would be Meme and Dindy still smiling and waving until we were completely out of sight." (Kim Stein, Granddaughter.) Reminded me so much of my grandfather, gone 48 years now, also an engineer and very loving and kind.
