Don knew personally, Capt. Wagner and "Doc" Hawley.

    Excellent interview and I thoroughly enjoyed it! If Captain Greer was a history professor, I'd be in the front row every class. As a side note, this was timely for me because I'm also reading Life on the Mississippi. About 3/4 of the way through now and enjoying that too. Thank you both for doing this one and I look forward to the next (I'm a bit behind on viewing.)

    Number one she had a license, number two she had navigation skills and river knowledge of several rivers, number three she had communication, personnel, and general boat handling skills.....I say "had" because these are the things the management team was considering when making her the offer. She is very intelligent...that is obvious just from listening to her speak...knowing what happens to wires holding the tow together as the boat goes up and down the river can be taught...easily...just my thoughts on why she was able to get to the front of the line when there are several deckhands wanting to get into the steersman program. With the explosion of the towboat industry in the early/middle 70's guys spent very little time on deck before going to the wheel house....there was not much of a steersman program back then.
