Great little write-up on grandpa. He would be proud! (...or maybe grumble a bit about what a complete waste of time the internet is...) Anyway, a minor clarification on his 1959 Norseman mahogany boat - the windshield is from a 1955 Ford. This is important for me should I ever have to replace the darn thing! I can't attach pics here so you can check out the old boat at http://ecoregon.blogspot.com/ if interested. Dad (Roy) and I completely refinished her in 1990. Slapped a 55 hp Suzuki on the transom and away we went. The original ob was a 1959 Evinrude 35 hp. Very similar look to yours on this site! One other token I received was grandpa's pipe collection. I keep them all together so if I ever want to go back in time I simply take a big whiff of the pipes and it puts me right back in his lap! In fact, I think I'll go there now. Thanks for the remembrance! -Erik Hello Steve and Linda!

You see, the portrait of your father as a young man does bear a resemblance to the John Torturo character, Barton Fink. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barton_Fink steve Anne, Roy, Norm,

Where did we put him? BARTON I'm at the Earle. LIPNIK Never heard of it. Let's move him to the Grand, or the Wilshire, or hell, he can stay at my place. BARTON Thanks, but I wanted a place that was less... LIPNIK Less Hollywood? Sure, say it, it's not a dirty word. Sat whatever the hell you want. The writer is king here at Capitol Pictures. You don't believe me, take a look at your paycheck at the end of every week - that's what we think of the writer. To Lou: . . . so what kind of pictures does he like?

You probably just walked in here thinking that was going to be a handicap, thinking we wanted people who knew something about the medium, maybe even thinking there was all kind of technical mumbo-jumbo to learn. You were dead wrong. We're only interested in one thing: Can you tell a story, Bart? Can you make us laugh, can you make us cry, can you make us wanna break out in joyous song? Is that more than one thing? Okay. The point is, I run this dump and I don't know the technical mumbo-jumbo. Why do I run it? I've got horse- sense, goddamnit. Showmanship.

Lemme put my arms around this guy! let me hug this Guy!
(He bear-hugs Barton.)

. . . How the hell are ya? Good trip?

He separates without waiting for an answer.

My name is Jack Lipnik. I run this dump.
You know that – you read the papers.

Lipnik is lumbering back to his desk.

Lou treating you all right? Got everything
you need? What the hell’s the matter with
your face? What the hell’s the matter with
his face, Lou?

BARTON
It’s not as bad as it looks; just a mosquito
in my room –

LIPNIK
Place okay?

To Lou:

. . . Where did we put him?

BARTON
I’m at the Earle.

LIPNIK
Never heard of it. Let’s move him to the
Grand, or the Wilshire, or hell, he can stay
at my place.

BARTON
Thanks, but I wanted a place that was less…

LIPNIK
Less Hollywood? Sure, say it, it’s not a
dirty word. Sat whatever the hell you want.
The writer is king here at Capitol Pictures.
You don’t believe me, take a look at your
paycheck at the end of every week – that’s
what we think of the writer.

To Lou:

. . . so what kind of pictures does he like?

LOU
Mr. Fink hasn’t given a preference, Mr. Lipnik.

LIPNIK
How’s about it, Bart?

BARTON
To be honest, I don’t go to the pictures much,
Mr. Lipnik –

LIPNIK
That’s okay, that’s okay, that’s okay – that’s
just fine. You probably just walked in here
thinking that was going to be a handicap,
thinking we wanted people who knew something
about the medium, maybe even thinking there was
all kind of technical mumbo-jumbo to learn.
