Dr. Philip L. Bettler, 69, has restored the 1920s riverboat Rufus B II into a showboat. The vessel, docked in Davenport, carries Bettler's memories as it tours 2600 miles along the Mississippi Ohio and Tennessee rivers. Bettler, a University of Iowa graduate, rebuilt the boat with a diesel engine and mahogany interiors, keeping a living link to steamboat era lore.
