In responce to the post regarding a movie about the Fitz' sinking...this has been in the works for several years. I once, actually got ahold of the producer and was told that they were in the "casting" stages. This was almost 2 years ago. He kept my email address, but never got back with me with any updates.
There is however, a movie out about life on a "laker". It's called "LakeBoat". I have a copy of the movie and am not sure if I like it or not. It has several "famous" actors in it, and great footage of the actual ship (the Seaway Queen). It's kind of obscure, but worth watching once. ------------------ Work hard, keep your mouth shut, and good things will happen ! |

One thing I definetley know about movie - making in Hollywood,if a movie takes more than 2 years to make,expect a disaster. Look back to,"Heaven's Gate" for proof. Or even as most recently in the case of Mariah Carey's,"Glitter". She started talking about that movie in '96 or'97 and it didn't get finished until 2001! As most people who did see the move said to me,she needs acting lessons! Getting released the week of 9/11/01 didn't help either. We can only hope that if this film ever is completed that it doesn't sink like a stone. (No bad taste humor intened.) Been me,later! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

Hm-m. No, John I don't live in Cleveland, I just up there last week and I intend to be there next weekend at the airshow. I suppose I could look it up for you, however, Old Watchman lives up there somewhere and I bet he knows where the brewery is, any idea Watchman?
When I spent some time in England I found those dark ales and stouts to be butt-kickers, know what I mean? |

I have heard of that brewery but not being a drinker, I have never been there. I am going to get a bottle with the Fitz on it though. Just in case times ever get tough and I have to move into a trailer, I will have something to put in my window. No offense to anyone who lives in a trailer. I drove through a trailer park last weekend and saw a trailer with bottles in the window. No offense. |
Well John, as luck would have it, I'm heading for Cleaveland in 3 weeks. If you are real nice, and buy me a NJ beer tomorrow night, I may just bring you back something!

Thank you for the picture. A picture is worth more than 1000 stories.
I wonder why GL felt close and dedicated the song to the ship. From listening to his songs, I know he has close relationship to the sea. |
