The Day My Grandpa’s Boat Sank
One day my grandpa (Sid) and his brother Jim and Fred Smelze were all on a boat and it was choppy water. Sid and everybody were in the boat. They were all fishing on a river named the Kaskaskia River.
It was a sunny day perfect temperature when they left for Illinois. They were heading there from New Baden,MO.
They started on a 1hr long drive. When they got to the river ,they bought a parking license. They started to unloaded the boat into the river. Fred Smelze climbed into the boat first started up the engine. Then Sid and his brother Jim climbed in the boat.
Their first spot was down river under the General Dean suspension bridge. They got to the bridge they could tell it was going to be a rough day.
