The Good: On the Maryland part of Assateague Island there's an old boathouse that was used by the U.S. Life Saving Service before it became part of the Coast Guard.
The Random: When we were here ten years ago, the building was not open, but yesterday the Park Service had it open and staffed. A "Lyle Gun" exhibit showed how a small cannon was used to propel a rope out to a ship that had run aground.
The Fun: The reason we were on Maryland's Eastern Shore was for a reunion with Frank's children and their families. Here's most of the gang meeting for breakfast. Not in the picture are Dave and Frank.
