I was reading through your blog tonite & came across this post. "Bob" Cole is my grandfather. I was about 4 years old when he passed away, so my memories of him are very vague. I knew that an article had been written about him taking the last canal boat down. I always wanted to read & possible obtain a copy of the article. Now I know where to go. Thanks so much for making my day!!
