 @48300e47 Thank you, Anna.

Fort Cronkhite always makes me think fondly of the old American newscaster Walter Cronkite (no relation)... and the wonderful story Walter's wife Betsy told about Walter on a late night TV show.

Betsy said "Walter always wanted to go out like Errol Flynn, on an 80-foot boat with an 18 year old girl."

The Betsy added "I hate to dissapoint Walter but, quite frankly, he's going to end up on an 18-foot boat with his 80 year old wife."
