When I was a young kid my folks bought a life insurance policy for me from him..He was quite a character..I also remember the Blue when it looked like the picture. We used to take a row boat out on the river. I also remember digging clams out of the sand bottom below the Plouzek dam just north of Dorchester..When those clams got to stink real good, they made great catfish bait....The river was a lot nicer in those days.
