Comments: Love seeing pics of my grandfather's MV, the Mike Breen, as well as my uncle's, the Pat Breen. I still remember taking the first trip on it with him on the Ohio in Louisville, KY, the christening, etc... Seeing these pics brings back good memories.
Comments: I was a Deckhand for McBride Towing/Captian George. back in the mid 80s. I am on your site several times a week Reminiscing and Researching. I have done many things since then But That was the Best! The River is still in my blood! and The Susan McBride is still my favorite Lady. Keep up the great Memories!
Comments: Howard Corse was my grandfather. Always good so see him live on in some way. Loved to sit on his lap and hear the river stories from the old days growing up. Will always miss him....
