| 摘要： | Eight-year-old Jayden Leach thought hard about how she was going to break a bottle to christen the vessel named after her great-grandfather, whom she called "Papa," William "Peanut" Hollinger."I'm gonna hit it suuuper hard," she explained of her strategy.With a little help from Hollinger's close friend, Winford Brewer of Paducah, Ky, that's exactly what she did.The christening ceremony June 23 at the Paducah riverfront was as much a way to remember Hollinger, who died April 15 at age 83, as it was a celebra-tion of Wepfer Marine's purchase of the 1,700 hp. towboat, which Wepfer will use on the Ohio and Tennessee rivers, mostly between Paducah and Cairo, 111."He's just a legend in the industry,"said George Leavell, Wepfer executive vice president. |
