USS BOSTON Sail and Rudder Co, Ltd. or Is there life after your boat gets scrapped?
I served in the Navy, a plankowner aboard the USS BOSTON (SSN-703) Decommissioned in 1999 and scrapped in 2002. Now I find myself in the unique cradle-to-grave position of helping to care for its remains at the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park. All that really remain are the sail and rudder shipped here in 2003 along with a few cleats. I feel like I'm caring for a vessel that met a premature and untimely demise. Now I care for her remains. ...Sort of.

Man,with that smile and mustache,I know how "Pauline"(perils of pauline) felt getting tied to the railroad track,"An then,An then,A train started coming."
Hey, speaking of the "A-Train" that was one of the numbers performed during the show!!!
...But that was before your time...right?
Hmmm,I would have never guessed.Did you have to save the girl from the railroad tracks too?
Naw, no railroad tracks this year in the show, that was a few years ago though when we did a railroad scene, built tracks, train and all for the show too! We're a prety ambitious bunch when it comes to designing our own scenery. then of course there was the year we built a whole sailing ship, complete with rigging and sails for one scene, now THAT was impressive!!
I think I have photos posted
