    1965 brought two life changing events to this old guy! I was just 20 years old and running my first charter boat My Sweetheart. I was also drafted into the United States Army that year and sent to Vietnam.

    Who is that skinny rascal?

    They didn't draft into the Navy for a few months after I was drafted. A buddy of mine was. I still got a boat!
