Then went to the clubhouse and helped the kitchen staff clean up after dinner and events. Then one of my sisters would pick me up at 9 or 10 p.m. Rinse repeat to pay for college. I think URI cost about $2000 per semester at the time.
Yes, my father was a radio man with the 79th Infantry Division.

No boat, back in the suds.
