You're welcome. That's cool about your wife's relatives. Back in the days of steam and sail, no radios or other electronics, no dams keeping the river under control, no dredging to maintain the channel, a different breed of pilot for sure.
Have you ever been to the COLRIP office? It's pretty cool with lots of old photos and I'm pretty sure they have a photo of every river pilot since #1. I don't think they actually do tours but with your wife's family history it's likely they would if you wanted to. I work with them almost everyday at work, if you're interested I could ask about a visit.
