Talking Greg..now that I have.......

...a Cobra (thanks to Ron Barsamian and my bank)...I am trying to schedule things around house reconstruction, boat launches, vacation home rebuild, etc. and a ton of other things..BUTT, I think your idea is going to fly---and, once done, become an institution. As for hotel, etc., I think I ("WE" if I can talk my better half into it) will NOT need hotel accomodations. I will provisionally offer the following:

-historical/hysterical tours/presentations at:
-Bill Morgan's antique boat works at the foot of L. George
-Sugar Loaf (?) mountain overlooking Ticonderoga
-Crown Point
-Split Rock
-Ausable Cavern
-Valcour Island
-etc.

The reasoin I offer these side trips is because I used to teach high school and adult education history courses and when working for "Titanic" Bob Ballard, we searched Champlain for the 13th gundola of Benedictr Arnold's famous fleet. Therefore, I know the area fairly well and, although you know it better, you could assign me five or so cobras-with-occupants and I could tear off and give 'em a little overview (if theyre from Pennsylvania or Virginia, etc.)

In other words--at your service. You have a brilliant idea---(it's what owning these high-interest cars is all about, in my view) and one which deserves tremendous support. I would guess that I will be about "worked out" in mid-July and can at least join you for 3-4 days of vacation.

Keep touch. (508) 564-4297
