Lobster boat towing a fire damaged boat. "Ken Prior uses his 36' Diane to haul the restored 22 footer from its launching cradle at Medomak, Me. Last fall, the 22 footer was gutted by an explosion. The Priors salvaged the hull and Ken helped his son reconstruct. It will be Steve Prior's first lobster-style boat. Ken's father, the late Lawrence Prior helped Ken build the Diane a few years before his death. Ken extends the family tradition by helping Steve get his first boat. [ref: 11/1977 p. 3B]
