More about Steve Q & A:
Q. What is your favorite thing about living in Ticonderoga?
A. The natural beauty of the area, the great history, and being close to our grandchildren (not in that order.)
Q. What are your hobbies?
A. Sylvia and I love to walk and go boating. For frustration I bowl and golf.
Q. Most memorable part of being Captain of the Minnie Ha Ha?
A. The most satisfying thing about being Captain on the Minne is giving kids a ride on the boat and having them bring their families as adults. That’s followed closely by all the great people I’ve worked with over the years.The most exciting exciting experience was being interviewed on the Today Show (I’ve blocked out the exciting storms and bad landings.)
Whether you call him Steve, Mr. Boyce or Capt. Boyce, be sure to tip your hat to Steve Boyce when you see him out and about!
