			== IBLS Lives On ==

			Please consider this historic fact in the year 2012 ---

			There are two well-known Live Steamers still living and in good health who just "might" know something of the history of the BLS ..and these two Live Steamers are about the same age today.

			One lives in Salisbury, MA ... His name is [[Cap Purinton]].

			The other lives in Federal Way, WA (in the Seattle area) ... His name is "Ken Shattock".

			They are the paternal grandsons of [[Carl Purinton]] and [[Victor Shattock\|Vic Shattock]].

			Maybe history can repeat itself once again --- maybe even the "fish chowder" lunches will return.
