WELCOME TO THE THOMPSON DOCKSIDE!

Greetings Docksiders:

No doubt many of you are wondering what is going on with the “Thompson Dockside”. As many of you know, the last published Dockside was sent last year.

For a variety of reasons, it made more sense to publish the Dockside on line than in the printed form many of you received for eleven years. The biggest reason for going on line is that from the very beginning I had always envisioned the Dockside as being interactive. For obvious reasons, this was difficult to do in a traditional printed format, but with the vast majority of everyone now having access to being on line, the internet proves to be the perfect vehicle.

The idea here is that anyone can contribute an original article or add to an existing one. Many of you have written to me over the years and after I read your letters I thought wouldn’t it be great for all the subscribers to read this. With space being limited in the Dockside there was no way to share what so many of you had written.

In the coming weeks you will be able to write an original piece, be it a restoration article or a story from your childhood recounting those times on the lake. You will also be able to add to an existing article. Check back for updates on how you can contribute.

Back issues in hard copy will still be available for $5.50 each. That list will be available shortly.

Advertising will continue here on the web site. Though the basic charge will be the same as it was in the printed version, the advantage of the on line version will be the option to post more photos. Rates will be published soon.

I look forward to hearing from all of you as we move into the Thompson Dockside.

As usual, you can always email me at: TDockside@AOL.com

See you at dockside
