Gold Member Popular Post Kivalo Posted February 12, 2021 Gold Member Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2021 On Facebook earlier today some random guy reached out to a group specifically about my home town of Auburn NY. He was asking about my father and grandfather. Well several people in the group tagged myself and my two brothers. Well come to find out his buddy now owns a 1934 Garwood mahogany boat that my great great grandfather originally owned. He is looking for any family pictures we may have of the boat. I'm going to go see it soon as he not too far from me. How cool is that??? 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
