Small world indeed. I live about 5 miles from the St. Lambert lock which is the most easterly lock in the St.Lawrence Seaway.

Plattsburgh isn't the same since they closed the SAC base there about 10 years ago. I think that Plattsburgh has more used car lots and more retail stores per capita than any other town I have ever seen.

Wayne,

I am familiar with all of the locks on the seaway as my Father got me a job on the Eisenhower Lock while school was out. I was making a fortune then for a school kid. Then I would go with them on inspection tours of the seaway. I know I wouldn't recognize many of the places now as that was long ago. I used to really like going off up into the Adirondack Mountains. They had a place beck then way up in the mountains called Santa Claus Town with all of the elves and a lot of real reindeer that you could pet.
