So who from the Northeast has a business jet and can pick me up at KROC on Friday afternoon?
So how nerdy are we that we get excited about a library outing? Darn I wish I could go.
Hey! As a professional librarian, I resemble that remark!
For those that aren’t familiar with this amazing collection, it includes the entire history of Chris-Craft boats from 1922 until 1977. Every file, every original hull card, every production drawing, original photographs and much more is now in the care of The Mariners’ Museum. The Chris-Craft Collection is housed in the new Library at Christopher Newport University in partnership with the museum where it was sorted, cataloged and filed.
It may be the most complete collection of corporate history in the USA. The tour will include seeing how the museum puts together research packages for Chris-Craft boat owners, where and how the files are kept and accessed daily by the volunteers, interested individuals and researchers.
If you own a Chris-Craft boat built between 1922 and 1977 bring the hull number and they’ll show you the original documents for your boat. It’s amazing and is a Must See!!!
Well this is depressing. Maybe you’re right Rick.
What if I told you this is on a University campus where hundreds of cute scantly dressed coed students spend countless hours hanging out at the library on Saturday mornings. Would that help???
Do they like pudgy middle aged guys who are balding and obsess over wooden boats?
I think you “UNPLUGGED” your server today. You owe us a Saturday post.
So thats why I’ve been feeling out of sorts.
