ON BLOGGING“Blogging is free, it doesn’t matter if anyone reads it. What matters is the humility that comes from writing it. What matters is the meta-cognition of thinking about what you’re going to say” - Seth Godin.

12/3/2002 at 1:00:00 AM - David GoodsellI never knew this piece of history about my father. I am so amazed that he did such a wonderful thing so many years ago. Wow how exciting to see this happening. To all the students at Proctor I commend you on your fine work. You are true Gentlemen and Ladies. Keep sailing!!!!!!! Ahoy There Mates David E Goodsell Ft Worth, Texas
3/9/2003 at 1:00:00 AM - Nancy (Heywood) BoileauIt was so nice to turn over the boat to where it was built by my cousin Fred Goodsell. It makes our hearts warm to know this was the right thing to do for our lost families. We hope to see the little boat on our swing through New England this coming Fall. Paul & Nancy Boileau Burlington, Vermont

5/24/2003 at 8:43:45 PM - Ruth & Rex McVayHow wonderful of all of you to restore Alfred Goodsells little boat and to honor him by bringing the "Little Boat Home "on your reunion. We all wish his health would allow him to be there-his spirit will be I am sure of that. We are very proud of him and happy for him to be able to hear about this honor. Thank you Procter. Sincerely Alfed Goodsells sister and brother in-law.
5/24/2003 at 11:33:34 PM - Alfred GoodsellI received the invite from Lou and if it was in my power to be there I would, however my thoughts are with you at Proctor on the 14th, Olin I know that you will be there so you can speak for me . Those were some of the Happiest days of my life being a part of the student body at Proctor with the teachers Roland {PETE} Burbank and his wife Connie, Lee Henry, Bill Holts, Lyle Farrell , and Cap't. Rounds in the Shop. I wouldn't give the memories up for the world, and I am so happy to be a part of the Proctor History.
11/16/2007 at 7:40:36 PM - Connie CauchonThanks for making my father a real piece of history. He has always been a special person to me but this makes him more special than ever. Thanks again for restoring his Little Boat.
