CAP T TOM MACKAY a long time resident of Park Point sent in this picture of him out for a sail on the Duluth Harbor " Hard Water".
------------------
Ahoy Denny. As you stated I have lived on the Point for a long time, 1944, with the first two days of my life spent up-town at St. Lukes. This is a photo of my Mom on my Dads Iceboat around 1939, just so you can see how this sport got in my blood. The other photo is of my first Iceboat the "Sputnic" named after a current event back a few years ago. A misspell of Spitnik.

ReplyDeleteTalk about a carefree ride! Ohhhh just once around the harbor would do me to get cobwebs out of my head! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOne of the big surprises of my adult life was finding a picture of my mother aboard an ice boat in Wisconsin, c. 1938... either on Lake Geneva or Lake Pewaukee.
