Mac,

I wrote you many months ago and you were sure to reciprocate ... thank you.

I had mentioned something about Luckner's Mopelia being burned by "Hitlers hoodlums." You wrote back stating that you were unaware of the fate of the Mopelia. It took me many, many months to find the article written by William D. Heckler who had sailed with Luckner aboard the Mopelia on a Carribean cruise during the summer of 1929 1930 (from New York). He wrote the article after visiting with Von Luckner in 1960. I am not sure if it was
published, I only have a copy he personally gave to me. 

Sincerely,
Kim Thornsburg

Kim,

Thank you for that, is it possible to have a copy of William's article please, so with his approval, we might add it to our pages on the Count?

Best Regards,
Mac.

Hello: How do I correct a small error in Kim Thornsburg's letter (Fate of von Luckner's Mopelia)? The Mopelia cruise was summer of 1929, not 1930. My mother was on that cruise.

Thank you.
