A lifetime fo reflections: booze
REFLECTIONS

I was born in 1923, the Volstead act was passed,making the consumption of alcaholic beverages illegal, in 1919. When I was very young, my father bought a small power cruiser, {power boat}. He bought it as did many others, to bring back beer from the Riverside Brewery, which was in Canada just across the river from Detroit. This really shaped a big part of my life. My Dad never became a skilled boat handler, but I did. I accompanied my parents to Georgian Bay, in Canada, several times in my teens, and I was really the boat captain. My Dad joined the Detroit Yacht Club, then the world's biggest yacht club,in 1933. I took sailing lessons there, and it led to a lifelong love of sailng, and racing sailboats. Marge took to it too, and we cruised all over the Great Lakes and Georgian Bay in the first years of our marriage. Then when we moved to florida in 1969, we moved aboard our 41 foot Bounty sail boat, and proceeded to race offshore and in the Bahamas. Even when we got older, the water still dominated our lives as I tought bridge and ran duplicate games aboard cruise ships. Well I got that off my chest, if anybody reads this, I hope they enjoy it
