I love the blimp, and Daddy & Leonard saw this boat on Saturday.</blockquote><p><b>Postcard back:</b></p> <blockquote> THE QUEEN MARY, escorted by thousands of small craft, fireboats and Coast Guard Cutters, sailed proudly into Long Beach Harbor, 10 A.M., December 9, 1967. Tired and travel-worn, the Queen Mary was slowly edged into Pier E to begin the conversion to her new career as a marine museum, hotel-restaurant - shop - tourist and convention complex.</blockquote><p><b>Leonard's comments:</b></p> <blockquote> Love of the blimp is a Richardson genetic trait. <p>The postcard copywriter gets so excited about the possibilities of the Queen Mary that commas in a list give way to non-comma punctuation marks.</blockquote><p><b>See also:</b> <a href="http://www.crummy.com/writing/postcards/tags/susanna.html">susanna</a> <a href="http://www.crummy.com/writing/postcards/tags/la.html">la</a> </p><hr /><div class="nav"><a href="../1984/19840424-3.html">&lt;-<img border="0" src="../1984/thumbs/19840424-3a.jpg" alt="Previous" title="Previous" /></a>
