Without a doubt, Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and Jacques Cousteau. Right up there with Lassie and Flipper in my book. Simply some of the best childhood memories and dreams came from those shows. Not to deminish the love for the water or what the good capitain accomplished, he was the Pioneer of all things Oceanic..

One of my child hood mentors. Watched all his shows on public tv. Have a lot of his books on my bookshelf still. Pretty sweet gig he had being able to troll around the world diving in all the different locales. Those kids on Flipper had it made too.

I give mine to my granddaddy.he had a shrimp factory and processing. Factory in fernandina beach fl. I would go down to the docks and hangout.he would get one of his captains to take me out from time to time. When the boats came in t the docks and were off loaded and cleaned.he would have the captain to put two 55 gal barrels on the fan tail and fill them with fresh shrimp!!!! And he would takei all the relatives down the icw eating fresh shrimp at sunset!!!!! I miss those days so much!!!!! If any of you listen to jimmy buffett listen to the song the captain and the kid. That was us

I'm waiting on Capt. Crunch's birthday. That's a real reason to celebrate. Never forget once we were out on my buddies Grady cruising around. My daughters were little and we saw a boat called catp crunch. Kids laughed. Then we see another grady and my oldest says, "Look daddy, its a Grandy White" I bought split my pants laughing. LOL!
