Searching for Charles D. Mower

by Stan Grayson

A long time ago now, at a cluttered, used-book shop on the New Jersey shore, I acquired the 1945 edition of Sailing Craft: Mostly Descriptive of Smaller Pleasure Sail Boats of the Bay.

Arno had found it all getting out of hand, too big, what with three employees in addition to himself and Joel. These days, the parking area fills in quickly in the morning with ten times that many boatbuilders, who nod their greetings as they arrive at work and the first machine noises inside break the morning stillness.

Thicker Than a Coat of Paint
