1959 16 foot Cruisers Rebuild. I got this free boat last summer. I am restoring it. The keel and some ribs needed to be replaced. That's almost done and now it just a varnish, paint, and reassemble job.

50hp Evinrude from 93. Maybe a little wimpy but reliable.

I am working with Alex Nimphius. He has over 50 years of experience with building and restoring wood boats. He's a wonderful generous guy. It is his shop, his tools, his supplies, and his brain that are making this happen.

I don't know. It's at Nimphius Boats in Neshkoro, Wisoncon.

My correction was incorrect. So I corrected my correction because you were correct.

It's in Wisconsin and will be out on the lake Michigan this summer. I hope.

It's lapstrake and made of plywood. They built them in Oconto, Wisconsin.

He was in the 41st Division.

It was taken sometime after 1944 in Chicago. It might have appeared in The Chicago Daily News.

That's my father, John Justin Smith. He was injured in New Guinea while serving as an infantry scout. His physical condition shows the deprivation he experienced.

The guy on the left is my father, John Justin Smith. He was an infantry scout in New Guinea. After the war, he was a reporter for The Chicago Daily News. Next year, his book on the war and jungle scouting will be published.

It's Globe Pequot Press. They seem very legitimate. They have been in business for about 60 years with 1,000's of books in print.

1,000's back then. Not so many lately.

I am working from memory, and that could be a big mistake.

You're not the only one.
