I have a copy of a photo of the water skiing event that I got from Susan Mulgrew.

During the 1966 visit, the Mary Ellen Hosmer waterskied behind the blimp in Oyster River. Somewhere, there is a film clip of that event.

These are the stories we should be expounding on. As a Hospice volunteer, who visits primarily Veterans, last year I met a man who was a U.S. Navy Blimp crewman. In 20 years in the Navy, I had never met a Blimp crewman.
Cool stuff is out there, just waiting for someone to ask.

Jared - I think he had a copy of that in the studio when I was working there. Cool!

Jim, I also have a large Kelsey view that he re-created with the Goodyear blimp flying over Nickerson's Neck and then the actual print of the Navy dirigible flying in the same location decades before.
