We stopped in Seneca Falls for a quick visit to the Women's Rights Museum where the first women's convention was held in 1848. I did not realize the movement started that early considering women did not get the vote until 1920.
We headed down to Jack's old stomping grounds - Keuka Lake and Seneca Lake. Spectacularly beautiful country here. Jack booked a trip on board the schooner, True Love, from High Society filmdom. For those who have seen the movie with Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra, this is the boat, named True Love used in the movie. I actually sat in the spot where Bing Crosby sang True Love on the boat. That part of the movie was filmed in Newport, RI and afterwards, the boat spent many years in the Caribbean before coming to Seneca Lake. Jack's former neighbor owns the business and she was there to welcome us back to the dock after a fabulous relaxing sail on Seneca Lake, out of Watkins Glen.
The lake was busy with sailboats of all sizes and shapes |
We spent Wednesday through the weekend with friends from Elmira. Not too much is new here in Elmira, but were disappointed that they still do not have Jack's picture up on the Welcoming billboard to town that highlights some of the town's notables: Mark Twain, Tommy Hilfiger, Hal Roach, etc. - you know, the ones Jack talks about nonstop when discussing Elmira.ππππ
