I believe the year was 2006 when this picture was taken of Little Man. Here is a very common scene of daily toils at the Rehoboth Bay Sailing Assn. As seen here, Little Man is handing Dave 5 gallon gas tanks in order to fill the gas tank of the Mako. Notice Little Man's long golden curls underneath a R.B.S.A. hat. A classic scene from the early years that I knew Little Man. Little was most likely 14 at the time of this picture, when he was most impressionable. When Little first arrived at the rbsa he was somewhat of a mystery. He was apparently working for free at the time, which really made no sense. Anyway Little was valued for his skills in rope mastery. He could bend lines, splice lines, among many other things that were very useful to the less 'technically' apt. Little man, at first he would be early for work every day, eager to take on pending challenges that jolt life into the souls of every socialist loving sailing association. As if they have souls. Anyway, the journey for Little Man would be tough. He had much to give yet so much more to learn. As I said before, he was very impressionable, still is...maybe? Well, 'little' is still little but in his mind he outgrows any notion of being Little. Because Little in fact acts more like a less little man than he actually is. Therefor he remains utterly perplexing.
