What year did your father make his trans-Atlantic trip in a runabout
and get the ensuing New York City fireboat welcome? We've went through
a lot of archives and have found a lot of records of fireboat activity
as it relates to non-emergency things but none relating to your
father. You do have the same surname, correct? If you don't know the
exact year, a time frame might help. I'll certainly forward any
archival items I find to you.
