As a longtime Mystic Fleet member of the Corinthians, I knew Fred, and I am sorry to lose him. I have the fortunate to be sitting on our boat in Amalfi at the moment and in thinking how similar in age we are, his passing touches `home.´
I enjoyed Fred´s insight and most of all, his laughter. RIP, my friend.
