I'm SURE this is 'thread creeping', but Don, do you remember those many hoots on the Lake Union Houseboats? I can remember one party, it was the final day of school, and the hoot started early. The host was a Highline High School teacher. By dark we were all singing and partying, and we ended the party by running from side to side, wall to wall, trying to sink his houseboat! We didn't succeed and he was so pleased that he invited us back the next weekend. And, as well you remember (The Ballad of Giddings Fall) there have been many noteable events that occured on the houseboats. AAAAAH, the good times. CHEERS, Bob
