Could everyone write one simple essay about something that once happened in Saltaire…that they saw or were a part of…and put it on one big website? Somebody should collect a lot of stories before we all forget. Otherwise it is like a line in “On The Beach” : The history of the war that now would never be written.” -(JO'H)

Where are the essay questions?

Is this contest rigged? I diligently answered all the questions during the exciting grand finale of the Stupidbowl--and have not received a numerical or letter grade from Professor O'Hare. Perhaps I did not press the right button to send the comment--you can't teach an old Dogfish new computer tricks.

I believe the canoeist on the SYC medal is either Chingachgook or Captain Baldwin

Does anyone have information about Suzanne Punnett's artwork and history as an artist? I have a painting signed by her and the only thing I found on the web about her is in this blog.
