[Public-List] Public-List Digest, Vol 2329, Issue 1

Mon Apr 23 11:32:49 PDT 2012

Question about TV show "This Old Boat" from a couple of years ago.

I recall that Mike Lehman and Towney were involved in a restoration project of an A-30, being filmed for a PBS show.  Some of the first segments were on our website.  Was it ever completed?  If it was completed, where is it now available ?
