long shot

Hi Steve

I found your name on the Ships Nostalgia site - I hope you don't mind me contacting you. If you are no longer involved perhaps you could let me know the name of the person involved.

My problem - my mother died last November and my sister and I went through her papers but were unable to find ANY information regarding our father, Elias Olsen (apparently also known as Bill). My father was killed by a drunk driver March 9th, 1952. My parents were married in October 1943. The only information we have is verbal from our mother, but both my sister and I remember my mother telling us about Elias working on a ship/s in the Carribean. Also, in 1947 my father was working at the Arvida Hotel/Inn in the province of Quebec, which at that time was owned by Saguenay Shipping.

I know this is a longshot, but any advice you could give would be appreciated.
