Subject: Thanks for the pictures of my dad's boat "Miss Melodie"
Date: 13th September, 2010
Hey, I really appreciate the pictures you've taken of the "Miss Melodie." The boat was owned by my dad, Steve Raynor, and named after my mom. Just recently the boat caught on fire, on the way to Pamlico Sound and was a total loss. Dad and his crew made it off the boat safely. We don't have many pictures of the boat before the fire and I know your pictures will make him happy. If you do have any more pictures of the boat could you post them please. Again, thank you so much for posting those pictures, and for you kind comments about the boat.

Anyway, this trawler was indeed my favorite of all I've photographed... and I had made note of that in several of the sites that I had posted it on.... Casey ran across it on flickr.com....
The story also has pictures of the boat fire...
Here's to Miss Melodie, it's crew, and the Raynor Family.... She was a beauty!
