Kaye E. Barker approaches and
recedes, an illusion of her usual self played by the magic of Huron.
At sunrise it’s an upbound G3 Marquis, off to load
grain, I’d wager.
And as we pass through Detroit, we have an opportunity to see a self-unloader at work.
But what surprised me the most was overhearing a conversation about Cason J Callaway being a son of Georgia. I was skeptical, but
but it turns out he’s the namesake of this laker launched in 1952.
The textile magnate was also a board member at USS.
Taconite from Minnesota, perhaps, and headed
here.

Must have been above the Ambassador bridge Will.
Must be a place I have not seen yet. It was the old railroad ferry dock.
