I would be surprised if he didn't mention it tonight.

I have been thinking about those 29 men, and their families, all day.

My husband's friend Jim grew up in Sturgeon Bay, WI and his dad was a steward on the Great Lakes ore boats. He was asked to go on that November 1975 trip, but he declined because in his opinion, the captain took unnecessary risks. Otherwise he would have been the guy saying "Fellas, it's been good to know ya."
