Here’s another good one:

My dad went to sea with the Gloucester Commercial Fishing Fleet at the tender age of 9. It was a wooden fishing schooner with sails and was called the “SADIE NOONAN”. Nearly forty years later, in the sixties, Dad took us to the seafaring Village in Mystic, CT. THERE on the wall of the Ship’s Chandler’s Store was the ACTUAL WHEEL OF THE SADIE NOONAN!!! My dad was so moved, he started to get all teary eyed right there in the museum.

We were, of course, in AWE of our daddy!

Good morning, ML!

Sounds like your daddy was an awe-inspiring man.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
