About an hour before the V6 “Civilian Air Craft Carrier” passed RI and my Rivercross Terrace , the Super Yacht KISSES , longer ( 175’ ) and sleeker , paraded north up the east channel. Owned by Norman Braman , whose Motorcars led to 3 B $ , an admired art collector and is a well known philanthropist , and who also once owned the Philadelphia Eagles.
