Clamdigger: Clamming would be a part of my life no matter how busy I became as a developer and banker.
Tycoon : including a dollar trail from the depression years of the early 1930’s through the incredible acquisition of 5000 acres by the mid sixties, described in The New York Times as one of the most complex detective stories in the world of real estate.
Naval Officer : Under kamikaze attack in Okinawa, I question those who now think the dropping of the atomic bomb was ruthless.
Philanthropist : Gifts include a municipal town hall to the Township of Stafford, ten acres to Southern Ocean Community Hospital and a First Aid building.
