Wow-great story! Remarkable-especially in light of the emotional attachment to the dollar bill. Thanks.

As I recall, the owner of the wallet did get very emotional -- not so much for the money, but for that half $1 bill. I should also add that the young hero was a grandson of Alberic Ouellette Sr. who owned Sandy Point and built most of the cottages during the 1940's. His son, the late Alberic (Bric) Jr. told us many interesting stories over the years of how he helped his Dad building the cottages. Ours is 1946 vintage.

Firstly, congrats and many thanks for this well-put together and informative collection! As a direct descendant of John Card (my 3rd great-grandfather) the photos and history have a great import for me. How much I would love to see one of those boats that he actually built. I don't suppose anyone has a line on where there may be an existing example of one of them?

Thanks all so much!
