Saturday, Nov. 13, 7 p.m. Roger LeLievre,Because of the Boats: How I Became the Luckiest Boatnerd in the World!
Hosts: Konnie LeMay & Sara Blanck
In retrospect, Roger’s path was inevitable. Born just blocks from the Soo Locks, summers spent with his grandparents at their cottage on the St. Mary’s River gave him a firm foundation for the years to follow. A chance meeting with boat photographer and Know Your Ships book publisher Tom Manse – who taught a young Roger to take pictures and work in the darkroom – was a turning point in his life. For the past four decades, Roger has been living his childhood passion watching and recording the freighters that ply the Great Lakes waters and, after taking over from Tom, publishing Know Your Ships, a go-to classic for boatnerds.
