From River Rat to Steamboatman
NKY History Hour, Tuesday, April 16 6:30 p.m.
Captain Donald J. Sanders' relationship with the river began at the age of 10 when he worked for his evening meal on a classic 52-foot wooden houseboat docked at a marina near his home in Covington, Kentucky. That experience led him to a 65-year adventure aboard some of the nation's most iconic steamboats along some of the most vital waterways. From bustling river towns to remote stretches of wilderness, Captain Sanders has witnessed firsthand the people and places that define the unique culture and heritage of our region.
Join Captain Sanders as he shares his extraordinary journey from humble beginnings to becoming a seasoned river captain in the virtual NKY History Hour presentation, From River Rat to Steamboatman, Tuesday, April 16, 6:30 p.m.
