LOL!

The little boats never made money in the beginning, but now, on dry 
land, they'll make some.      I wonder if that's funny?

What I'd really like to do is to work up the plans of Simon Lake's first
boat.   Lake inspired the concept that became the Aluminaut, and to have
his first boat and his "last" would be quite a coup.   A full-sized model
was built a couple of years ago in New Jersey.   The chap who's setting
up Simon Lake's files, Jeff Lake, suggested I contact the builder (who
did 
give Jeff a copy, but he can't copy it).   I've had no reply two months
after
my letter.   (Any ideas on how I might get those plans?)
