One of the featured exhibits is Messing About in Boats, The Amazing Adventure of Bob Manry. I grew up in Willowick, and I clearly recall the stories of Mr. Manry and his little boat, Tinkerbelle. My sister was friends with his children, Robin and Doug, so I was always fascinated with this story. This year is the 40th anniversary of his voyage.
I also discovered a tribute to Mr Jingaling, and photos of Captain Penny! I saw Captain Penny at Federal's department store when I was probably around 5 years old. He was giving away signed photos, and meeting the children. I cherished my Captain Penny photo and hoped to marry him when I grew up.
You can fool some of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool Mom., Captain Penny
