Hi; Thanks for the post. If it wasn't for Gordon Lightfoot I don't think I would have really known about the disaster. I've seen firsthand what angry seas are like and would not like to wish that on anyone. Do you have a personal involvement with the loss? So close and yet so far! Cheers, and try to have a good day.

"Do you have a personal involvement with the loss?"
None except for the great interest in the Great Lakes boats and the fact that I own part of the FITZGERALD, albeit a very small part. I've had a couple of trips aboard a couple of the boats and have spent years upon the waters of the Great Lakes and a few months on the Pacific as well.
I'm sure that Gordon Lightfoot had an influence on many knowing of the tragedy. I shed a tear or two every time I hear the song.sigpicRoad Foreman
