It brought back some interesting memories on the days of driving the Ed Anderson tractors in the field during 55-57 . Also of why Jim Hanson and Ed A split. I didn't know why that had happened.I think Jim Hanson did an excellent job of running and managing the farm for Ed. Thanks .

My message was lost -- the basic comment I wanted to get across is: thank you for keeping the water way, landing and launching open to Washington Island. I am so grateful for the Washington Island Ferry and all that you do.

I remember as a kid our family riding the C.J. Richter over to the Island and back (just for the trip) and seeing the old ferry tied up to the dock. I remember my dad explaining that the potatoes were farmed and stored in the old ferry, but never really understood the whole program and the bacground.
