Comment (only the 1st 7 lines per box will print) : use in case some incident like the General Slocum tragedy would ever happen again. There was also brought a large Saint Barnard dog who would rescue swimmers in that part of the river. My dad and uncle both recall the dog.

|
Comment Continued (7 more lines) : It was wonderful to hear my dad and uncle remember their childhood and even more interesting to discover why the dog was brought there and why the equiptment had been kept there.
