Really? / by Dave Hileman

On Valentine’s Day among the chocolates and flowers and hearts we often miss the fact that what can’t return love does not merit love. I wonder what the spouse of this boat owner thought as the boat was named “True Love”? A day devoted to reminders that we all have important people in our lives that we are blessed to love is great. St. Valentine was a most interesting figure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Valentine) and I can’t help but wonder how many people know that the date, February 14th, is the date of his martyrdom - not much to do with little stuffed animals and heart shaped candies. However, Happy Valentines Day.

As an aside this schooner was used in the 1956 film High Society with Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong.
