Mike and family, I will be unable to be aboard the Rose of Nelson this year.
I have busy schedule ahead. My high school reunion is in Fredericksburg the weekend of May 31 - June 1, 2.
Then, the next weekend I am involved again with the Amherst County Batteau Day on June 9 and an Edgar Allan Poe presentation the following day at the Amherst County Historical Society and Museum.
Then, I have to hurry home and will depart June 13 for Switzerland, Germany and France with my son Derek's family for a vacation.
Hopefully, I will be back on board the Rose in 2019.
Mike Rucker
