A Labor Of Love
May 10, 2012

To the Editor,

Thank you so much for the article on the rebuilding of the Nancy Ellen.

I am one of a group of homeowners that live near where Mr. Smith performed most of his restoration on this vessel. Many mornings I enjoyed watching his progress and listening to his Blue Grass music playing while he worked.

Step by step he worked diligently on this for years. I never spoke with Mr. Smith, because he was so busy, and I did not want to disturb his work. Hopefully I will meet him one day, so I can express to him how proud we are of him for completing this labor of love.

What a wonderful story.

Thanks,
