Donor-supplied Notes"Expo 67, Montreal, July 1967. Eero running the outboard and David at the bow of the Old Town boat that we named “Winnepasaukee” after the place where it spent the first half of its life. My mother, Mary, when she was interning at Eastern Maine General Hospital, went to Old Town and bought this boat for her father (he paid for the boat). When Alton Miller was too old to use it, he gave it to Mary, and we trailered it home to Cape Rosier. There it was used and used hard and neglected, and there it died. Too bad. In the movie, Eero has disembarked, and David takes off in the “Winnie” going towards Orrs Cove. Then Expo. [...]. All of us lined up in front of a dome structure. I think we were looking at a space capsule, NASA thingie."
