That strong impression motivated me to pester my Polish-born father and New England-born mother to get me a boat and some traps. What could be simpler, and my dad could no longer use the "not being able to swim" excuse. The following spring he bought me a 12-foot wedge-shaped wooden skiff, a pair of oars, and a dozen rickety wooden lobster traps with lines and buoys for $45.
That summer this 12-year-old entrepreneur began lobstering out of Lane's Cove, an historic granite block harbor also known as "The Hole in the Wall." The Cove, located about a mile from my Washington Street Lanesville home, had dory and power-boat lobstermen - mostly Finns - but there were also the one-armed lobsterman Duke Terrada, Arthur Goudreau, old Herm Marchant, and George Morey, who also ran a fish trap in the summer for "old Englanders" (whiting), squid and mackerel.
I was an avid lobsterman, up at the crack of dawn, salt water already running deeply in my veins. My dad hoped I would "...get sick of that damned lobstering" and follow in his footsteps as a liturgical artist. But, in addition to teaching me something about business, that first summer left me with a tremendous sense of the ocean's freedom and a fascination of wondering what each trap had caught.
