About Robert Heffron Murray....
Robert Heffron Murray was born Wednesday, October 18, 1881, in Washington Heights, Cook County, Illinois, the son of George William Murray and Cora May (Heffron) Murray. After attending the Lewis Institute (forerunner of Illinois Institute of Technology) in Chicago for secondary school education, Robert enrolled and later graduated from The University of Chicago on Tuesday, June 14, 1904. Robert married Sue Mary Horton on Saturday, November 4, 1905, in Richmond, Virginia; no children resulted from their union. Sue was a childhood neighbor of Robert and the daughter of Horace E. Horton, the founder of Chicago Bridge and Iron. In 1917, Robert joined the United States Army and was commissioned as a Captain in the Army Reserves. He was elevated to Major when ordered to report for deployment to Europe during World War I. Upon return from active duty in Europe, he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, and was therefore commonly referred to as Colonel Murray. He started developing Sunset Hill Farm in 1934, which is located in the northwest quarter of Section 25 in Liberty Township, Porter County, Indiana. Leroy "Pete" Hanrahan, who served as Colonel Murray's farm manager from 1934 until his death in 1952, was instrumental in assisting Colonel Murray develop Sunset Hill Farm. Today, Sunset Hill Farm operates as a county park. After Robert's wife Sue died on Monday, February 26, 1962, he remarried Elizabeth (Linn) Allen, the widow of John B. Allen, on Saturday, January 11, 1964, in Liberty Township, Porter County, Indiana. Elizabeth, commonly referred to as Bips, was a member of the Chicago Board of Education and the grandniece of Jane Addams, a very well known early Twentieth Century progressive and the founder of Hull House in Chicago. Colonel Murray died on Saturday, October 28, 1972, in Valparaiso, Porter County, Indiana. Elizabeth "Bips" Murray died on Saturday, June 14, 1997, in Washington, DC.

With over 3075 T37 Racing Sloops sailing across the world, T37 fleets have emerged around the US to bring like-minded sailors and racers together for competitive and fun racing! Whether match-racing with just two boats or sailing with 20 others, T37 sailing is fun for sailors of all ages and experiences.
Some of the biggest T37 fleets are located in the Pacific Northwest; one of the fastest growing of these fleets is the Port Townsend, Washington fleet. Since its formation only a few years ago, the fleet has grown from zero boats to 43 boats.
Because the T37 Racing Sloop is a one-design class, sailors do not have to buy expensive boats or fancy sails to 'get an edge'; instead, T37 racing is about strategy and model boat racing skills.

There was some sort of model boat regatta - race, competition- at the lake on Saturday. This entrant team sure had a lot of paraphernalia.
I was determined to have at least one model of Scottish road, rail, air and water travel. Anyscale models very helpfully fulfilled the water aspect with this uniquely Scottish, manually operated, turntable ferry. This wonderful 1:76 scale, resin set just requires assembly and painting. It thankfully prevented my having to scratch build a CalMac ferry in that scale.
I have painted this in the same style as the MV Glenachulish, the world’s last manual turntable ferry, and featured in the linked video, by Tom Scott. The model however was created by Anyscale as a generic turntable ferry, representative of the type. -https://youtu.be/H2ZBSFiuWIo?si=
At one time turntable ferries have operated at 11 water crossings around Scotland. Whilst the MV Glenachulish is the last active, previously these types were found operating at; Ballachulish, Bonawe, Corran, Cuan, Dornie, Kessock, Kyleakin, Kylerhea, Kylesku (the most northerly), Scalpay and Strome. Before bridges these vessels provided a critical inter-island link for vehicles and foot passengers alike.
I’ve named this “MV Western Spinner”, she’s seen both during crossing and at the slipway, carrying then offloading a Police car and Royal Mail Postbus, both Land Rovers.
After a lot of fiddly work on the stanchion, handrails and rigging she now looks presentable once again

A little underpowered for this rough pond but seaworthy nevertheless. ( better than yesterday's efforts with the red Witch!)

Plank on frame model 1/20th scale and a brilliant all weather perfomer. now sold on to a fellow club member to make space for new projects.
Now starting to shape the balsa layers of the counter stern. When this is finished, I shall fill the planking gaps, use my belt sander to finish off, and mark the porthole placements.
