I sure miss Cap. He was very instrumental in launching my career.

Thanks God bless.

I see that you graduated from KP and I'm sure Cap had a play on that. He very much steered me along on my maritime career and I attended Maine as an engineer. I sailed for many years and eventually came shoreside to build new research ships with NOAA.
Again, thank you for joining and I hope that you can find some old photos from your time aboard the schooner, to post.
Very best,
Jamie
