Some of his more famous self-proclamations:

*********************************************** **********
Have you ever transited the Panama Canal? I have.
Have you owned more than 20 boats in your lifetime? I have.
Have you ever sailed large boats competitively? I have.
Have you ever been hundreds of miles from land in a powerboat
under your command? I have.
*********************************************** ********

Who could this brave man be?

The Shadow knows!

A "Harry" thread. *How nice.

Dunno, thought he was talking about me for a minute but don't think
I'm up to 20 boats, maybe 12 or 13. *I've kind of lost count but it
might be 20 counting some old family boats. * * :-)

Haven't done the Panama Canal yet either but did live there for a
short time as a kid.

I figured it wasn't about me when I got to the word "Hero."

I watched Full Metal Jacket last night for the um-teenth time.

I wasn't in it, so that counts me out too!


However i would have liked to have worked the range with an M-14,
though.


I shot expert with the M-14. Man, I loved that rifle.


After a life of boozing, I imagine your hands probably shake too much
to shoot like that now.
