Dad as the captain of the ferry "Pocahontas" on the Chesapeake Bay (circa 1962). He was the youngest man ever to attain this position.

This is a picture of the Pocahontas when she was on a regular run between Little Creek and Kiptopeake, Va.

    Dad was quite a crooner and loved to sing at churches and other functions. Here are a couple of clips that were recorded in 1956 with an old 78rpm phonographic recorder.
