[NEohioPAL]Cleveland's WB Gets to the "Heart of the MATHER"

[Robert Catalano]

"Heart to Heart with Annie & Al" will feature the Steamship WILLIAM G. 
MATHER Museum on its July 10 & 11 episode.  The show airs on Cleveland's WB, 
and features interesting people, stories, and places in the Northeast Ohio 
area.

Rob Catalano, Deputy Director of the SS MATHER Museum, talks with Annie & Al 
about the history of "The Ship That Built Cleveland," as well as what 
visitors can expect when they board the vessel at Cleveland's NorthCoast 
Harbor.  Viewers will also be treated to historic photos, including "Heavy 
Weather" Harry Anderson, Captain of the MATHER in 1966-67.  Tune in to hear 
about Captain Anderson's heroic feat while onobard the MATHER.  He still 
serves onboard today as the museum's honorary Captain.

If you want to see 94-year old "Heavy Weather Harry" in person, go to 
Eastlake Stadium on August 2nd to see him throw out the first pitch at the 
Lake County Captains game at 7:05 pm vs. the Asheville Tourists.  It's both 
Nautical and Senior night at the stadium and the MATHER Museum will  host a 
table with a fun activity and giveaways.  Visitors to the MATHER can also 
enter a raffle for only $5 to win tickets to the "Captains Corner" to see 
the game with 26 friends in exclusive box-seats plus other goodies, a $300 
value!  All proceeds benefit the museum and the winner will be drawn on July 
18.
