Abe ! Abe you worked with me onboard Dream Catcher schooner 1996 out of Oceanside Marina, you were the mate and helped with all the duties of a mate, helping passengers, raising sails, getting folks into the water for snorkeling adventures. You did your job well, thank you, much love to all the family, Capt John

I met Abe in studio art class. He was blonde, shaggy, and barefooted. It was winter. He told me he wanted to be a beach bum and to sail boats. I could hear his old, loud, black pick-up truck coming down the road. Despite what my mom might think, he was the one that taught me how to drive (on River Road and while listening to Crazy Train). He let me curl his hair. He drove with his head out the window so the breeze would hit blow. I've never met anyone like him and a wonderful a piece of my youth has left me.
