DOCK BOX
years A Personal Effect I’ve been a subscriber for many years, and my dad was too, before he passed. When I started reading the February 2021 issue, I was thinking you had me in mind. I live in Florida now, but live on my Chris-Craft on Catawba Island, Ohio, in the summer with my dog. I grew up in Lorain County and lived in Avon Lake almost my whole life. It was wonderful to see that article (the Port of Call) put together! Then, the Classic Craft article about Miss Muffet really hit home! Miss Muffet was my ex-girlfriend’s family boat! I was on that boat several times over the years. It seemed you had published that issue with me in mind, and really made me super happy to read! I just wanted you to know how a regional magazine has a very personal effect on people. Thank you very much, you do a fantastic job. —Steve Biddle
