RAFFERTY
I am honored ...Meet Daughter of ROBERT C. RAFFERTY<br /><br />I am honored and excited to be invited to attend the upcoming service held this<br />November 10th in River Rouge.I will be coming from Kansas to honor my dad and the other <br />28 crewmen.My father was the " Old Cook" referred to in the Gordon Lightfoot song. <br />There will be so many events having to do with the FITZ I hope to be able to fit it all in.<br />I think it's great to include the school kids learning about the Great Lakes and the ships<br />that have sailed on them.<br />I grew up in Toledo Ohio and watched from many ports my dads ship sail off with a load <br />of iron ore or coal. Those good memories never go away. Hope to see you there. <br />All are welcome to honor and remember that fateful night.<br /><br />Pam Johnson<br />Daughter of ROBERT C.
