About the Book

After twenty one years resigning from a management position at the Quincy Shipyard of General Dynamics the author supported by his wife Lee and children purchased the Greenway Marine Railway and country store. Foundered in 1920 Greenway for over forty years had been a thriving business and center of the local community but its then owners had let business deteriorate. Now as Glass Marine, Inc. the new owners began its revitalization. Two years later the first forty foot fiberglass work boat built on Chesapeake Bay was completed. Over the next fourteen years over eighty fiberglass work boats and pleasure fishing boats including a number of U. S. Coast Guard Certified Vessel were built. Through these years Glass Marine suffered through three disastrous fires, Northeater storms and a recession that nearly cause bankruptcy plus the untimely death of wife Lee from lung cancer. Interweaved in the book are numerous tales and event starting with the "Yankee come heres" dealing with the rural Gloucester County, Virginia, locals; working with the local Chesapeake Bay Watermen and their families plus many yacht owner custormers; interesting descriptions of some of the local characters; plus asorted other events and happenings.
