ReplyDeleteWow! That's pretty cool. My father, Jack Trathen 'Captain Jack (or Jackie)' was a very popular charter fisherman down on the docks! Great memories!
DeleteIn the late 1950’s I was part of the Castaways synchronized swimming team “The Castonettes”. What fun
ReplyDeleteVery cool!!! My father, Jack Trathen 'Captain Jack (or Jackie)' was a very popular charter fisherman down on the docks! Great memories! (I am trying to find anyone that may have known him.)
DeleteMy father did a high dive act with another guy at Castaways around 1959-1961. Does anyone remember this or have any photos?
ReplyDeleteI wish I could help you. My father, Jack Trathen 'Captain Jack (or Jackie)' was a very popular charter fisherman down on the docks back in those days! Great memories!
