I'm sure it will make you ill to learn that many of my family members
lived in the Lynn-Revere-Salem area,

Naw, I don't have any problem with you really. I'd go fishing with you
anytime, actually think we would probably get on ok as long as we
stayed away from politics. Besides, I hate to blow your cover but a
mutual friend has assured me that you are actually a pretty decent
guy

and that on D-Day, though I was only an infant, I was at Revere Beach
with my parents.

My paternal grandfather was a shopkeeper at a store at Revere Beach and
lived a few blocks away. This was in the days of the Revere Beach
amusement park. An aunt of my mother's lived not far from Revere Beach
and had a small farm where they raised veggies and acres of
blackberries. Actually, I had relatives living all over the Boston area.

You probably knew my uncle and my cousins who would have been about
your age. My uncle owned a huge boarding house on top of the hill, was
an electrician, a local politician, also involved in national
elections on the Socialist ticket. I remember the beach as a child,
don't know if the amusement park was still there then.

He'll offer to take you soon. If you can stand to spend a day within 21
feet of him, you'll probably have a good time drift fishing with 12 lines
in the water. Be careful not to get carried away and step off the end of
the deck through the cutaway transom!

My boat has a cutaway transom? What's the problem with that? I mean,
if you can't handle it, don't buy it

Are you asking me if your boat has a cutaway transom? Hell, I don't know!
If so, there's no problem whatsoever, unless you get carried away and take
a step through it!

Good grief John. You were actually one of the few...if not the only
one...invited out on Harry's boat for a day of fishing.
This is how you repay him.... jabs at every opportunity?
That would be considered bad manners up here.

Yeah, but then again so is ______________ (please insert local
stereotype)

I actually did invite herring out a few times, but he was always a pig
about it. I saw him once or twice at a marina. He was with his wife. She
seemed very nice. I don't know how she stands the little scheisskopf.

Don, is there anyone in the group calling you an 'asshole' on a daily
basis? Does the idea of 'integrity' mean anything to you? Would you like to
spend a day less than twenty five feet away from one who is unbelievable?

Down here, lying is considered bad manners.

Harry, you're too neat for words. Glad to see you've come up with a new
name. It's an honor!
