No, Harry's father made it under power, I think with an Evinrude. His father was close personal friends with the Evinrudes -- Reginald P. Smithers III, Esq. This Newsgroup post is a natural product.

No one would know, because the fireboat welcome he received isn't on record. It's the only one that isn't, according to the historian for the NYFD. It's kind of like his Yale degree. |
