You must have had a blast growing up in the Marblehead area.

We have lived in Avon Lake for the past 15 years (my wife grew up here
and depending how old you are her father may have been your teacher or
football coach at AL High) and docked at Copper Kettle some 20 years
ago. We drove past that marina yesterday and the slips are mainly
empty.

Va. Beach is a great area. My wife's brother lived there for years
while serving in Norfolk (a Commander of an aircraft carrier) and we
visited there many times.

Who's her father? I graduated back in 77.
Not being a smart aleck but CDR's don't captain carriers. Capt's do.
CDR's CO squadrons or smaller ships.

1. You were way past his time although he was installed in the AL Hall of
Fame in the late 80's.
2. All I know is that my BIL was a Commander and served on an ACC. After
that and up to his retirement he served at the Pentagon. Perhaps his time
on the ACC was as a Captain.

Bucky Koff now owns most of the property in the
city...............Buckyville.

I've known about Bucky since I was in high school when he was just
starting out. He built crap houses back then too. Terrible things. Of
course home owners love new homes that are built like junk but look
good. Phooey!

My wife has the same feelings. She knew him since high school also. ;-)
