Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

L. E. Fry & Co.

Clayton NY

L. E. Fry & Co. was a builder of high-quality motor boats and launches, started in 1893. They stepped up to build four sub chasers for the Navy in WWI and then went back to their old market, closing in 1924. Did they ever build anything else? Can anyone can tell me where in Clayton the yard was?
