1. someone posted the song by Gordon Lightfoot last night.

Though solemn, it was great hearing it again, singing it. Very sad.

Heartbreaking.

Thank you

6. The documentary was very good. It sucks when you start crying at the beginning of it

and you don't stop because you know how it ends.

8. I remember that night.

Shitty, windy weather and then it came on WNEM TV5 that a ship went down in Superior.

I was 10 and I remember it.

I dove a couple of wrecks from the Great Storm of 1913.
