I remember reading about a special tour on the Mississippi a few years ago
with
Shelby Foote and Ken Burns speaking about Civil War battles and other items
from this time period.  I think Sam would enjoy meeting both of these men
and
of course he'd be right at home on the river.  Having grown up in Illinois
not
too far from the river myself I can understand and appreciate his love for
it
and his fascination.  Naturally I'd also send him cat toys for the felines!
