[PRCo] Dis-assed-her on the Mon

[Fred Schneider]

This is another one of Fred's wild diversions…   This is essentially for our man in Della-wear but there may be others beside Dwight and I who are into river boats.

But if you are from Pittsburgh, this may appeal to you.     I remember seeing a deck chair laying on one of the nearby streets the evening of the fire as testimony to the fierce explosion.   Funny what you remember when you are seven years old!
