Marianne and I were (like so many in Reedville) saddened to hear of Fred's passing. We both can recall when we arrived in Reedville (1988) we went fishing out past the spyder. Soon, my VHF radio crackle with someone (Fred aboard the Dudley) telling me in no uncertain terms that I had run over his "chum line". I went and checked my propeller and saw on line entangled. Guess you can see how dumb us come heres were back then. Since then, I have exchanged many friendly hellos to Fred and will miss his smile and wave.
