Yesterday, Doco went searching in the New Denver museum photo-archive for pictures to go in his next several Slocan booklets. I had borrowed Steve's scanner and was technical assistant for the day. Actually quite a useful assistant, as I unearthed a pile of "missing" photos, in a tattered photo-album in a jam-packed drawer. Many of them have never before been used.

Thanks for the pictures Mum! Does anyone know why none of the row-boats have oars?

Doco says the row-boats don't have oars because they are not row-boats. They are motor launches.
