Save the steamboat Delta Queen ~ a private initiative to support this historic landmark Page 2 of 8 <br />o October 200_7 <br />o September 2007 <br />o August 2007 <br />• RSS & Admin <br />o Login <br />o Entries RSS <br />New. York _Times~ International Herald Tribune about the_Delta <br />Queen <br />oct 2s, 2007 <br />Sean Hamill has published a wonderful article about the Delta Queen and the Save the Delta Queen <br />Campaign in The New York Times ("A Ri_v_erboat_Could Be_Cruisin~_to the End of_the Line") which <br />also showed up worldwide in the International Herald Tribune. The beautiful pictures in the article are <br />from Nicole Bengiveno and where taken especially for this article just a few weeks ago when the Delta <br />Queen cruised the Cumberland River. <br />The author of the Article, Sean Hamill, lives in Pittsburgh, PA, and grew up along the Ohio River, <br />knowing the Delta Queen since he was a kid. He sums up the actual situation perfectly and I like the <br />positive attitude of the article -other than a relatively pessimistic article by Jane Engle in the Los <br />An~eles.Times which of course is great anyway as it at least raises attention to their readers but doesn't <br />help much in supporting the Save the Delta Queen campaign directly. <br />Sean, I love your very positive article in the New York Times! <br />Another very positive turn comes from Majestic America Line: According to Modern Agent <br />Ambassador's vice president-corporate development, Joseph McCarthy, said they are now "100 percent <br />supportive and will do whatever we can to get it [the exemption bill] through." My comment: That's <br />wonderful, no matter whether Majestic America Line officials really have changed their minds or <br />whether trey just recognized that the campaign is gaining enough momentum to possible being <br />successful and Majestic America Line might suffer from not supporting the campaign. As soon as the <br />DQ's owner really supports the efforts to get the exemption and is giving up its dormant and passive <br />position, this alone helps tremendously. <br />2 Comments » <br />"Save_the Delta Queen" Press _Conference_in Cincinnati,_Oct_26 <br />Oct 23, 2007 <br />There will be a PRESS CONFERNECE in Cincinnati on Friday, October 26th, at the Steam boat <br />Park, by the Big Paddlewheel, with U.S. Rep.
