The HERO...2012-13


the Hero in January 2013

In January 2013, photographer Michael Tagles ventured into Bay Center, Washington (45 miles north of Astoria, with a population of 174) in January 2013. He admired this boat enough to take some photos...this one...

This is Dick's view of the Hero in December 2012.

In May 2013 there was a gathering of Dick Wolak, Jay Morrison, and myself (in Kingman, AZ) to review and discuss the Hero. The status quo didn't change for awhile...until September 2014 when we got some disquieting news.
