Subject: Bowditch descendant
From: Chuck Taylor (ctaylor@XXX.XXX)
Date: Tue Sep 17 2002 - 19:31:00 EDT
This last weekend my wife and I took some people on a cruise in the San Juan
Islands (Washington State) for charity. One of our guests was Kate Bowditch,
who is a 6th-generation direct descendant of Nathaniel Bowditch. She mentioned
that her great-grandfather sold the rights to The American Practical Navigator
to the U.S. Government, so the family receives no royalties.
It's a small world.
