The End of an Era

September 17, 1948, Appleton Post-Crescent

Nice reminiscences of the Menasha. plying its trade along the Fox River.  One major takeaway from reading these anecdotes is how the Menasha had its own personality, you might say, judging from Captain Velte's telling of the story.  His tales of the interesting characters along the river resemble those feisty ship captains we've seen in countless movies and TV shows.
