Am I writing a song? Good question. I 'dunno. Everytime I try to write a song, my wife leaves me, the cats find other homes, the fish quit biting and my neighbor starts to tell me just how much he loves me ... again.
But, based on my memory, I know there's one hell of a story there. But first I have to check my memory against the facts. I just e-mailed the local Westport historians regarding this incident. Brucie listed a VERY good contact for this story. I hope to learn something. Thanks for all your interest.
Oh ... and as to the "GP" things. I'm no longer a boater, but ALL of my friends up here who do have boats have them. I guess they're better than sliced bread!! Bob
