My condolences to the Slater Family. We grew up with them and have good memories of the times. Mr. Slater employed me at his Marina for a couple of summers - really enjoyed the job and his flexibility with me. I don't think I was the best worker all the time, but hanging on the docks on the weekends filling gas for boats was a pretty good time. Cleaning toilets, not so much. We also spent a lot of time at their home and I playing tennis with Craig. Sailing, boating, and the Pistakee Yacht Club. Thanks for the memories and may he Rest In Peace. Amen.
