Wotcha Obit: Caryl P. Weiss (2 June 2012) (68* d) RE: Obit: Caryl P. Weiss 04 Jun 12


Carol was a regular at DC area shanty sings. It is sad to hear. She had a great sense of humor. Her business card, which I am reading now, reflected her humor: Admiral Caryl Weiss of the Texas Navy (clearly pre-Constitutional), and listed her address as the Texas Embassy, Annapolis; her email was Shantymam@yahoo.com

She knew her songs of the sea and would gently inform those of us (landlubbers) just learning the songs, that "belay" probably didn't belong at the end of a capstan chantey.

I am sure the local DC area chantey haunts will sing some chanteys in her name. Most likely the Wheaton MD venue this Tuesday and Baltimore on 13 June.

Med vennlig hilsen,
