Thanks for the clarification on the identity of the white paper ship, Maurice!

Those little plans in Model Boats were a great source of pleasure to me back in the 1950s and 1960s. I do not have a complete collection of those magazines, but I have a couple of years worth and I am glad to have them around.

I bought my copy of the March book for $25.00 in 1968. It has a piece of bond paper tucked in behind the dust jacket with an outline of a little hand inside the outline of a bigger hand. The outlines are labeled "Donald" and "Daddy" and at the bottom, it says, "Augusta, Georgia 9 September 1968." That piece of paper is worth more to me than the book -- "Donald" (Don Boose III) who is a member of this Forum, celebrates his 43d birthday this Saturday.
