Quick footnote Larry.....My son is named Tristan for Tristan Jones. After reading all his books and following his exploits for years, I was struck speechless when I encountered him at Annapolis one year at the Sail show. My wife said she had never seen me so awestruck and that she thought I was going to kneel and kiss his hand. I eventually got out enough words for a conversation. One helluva' man.
