Sunnyland Boat Show
Christine, Nick and I had a great time at the Sunnyland Boat Show in Tavares, Fl. yesterday meeting customers and future customers in person. I especially enjoyed talking to Mr. Ralph Meloon whom I hadn't talk to for over 10 years. I ask him if he remembered my Grandpa and he said "Of course I remember your Grandpa, Jeptha Larue Sunday. He and my Dad were partners when they started the boat company but your Grandpa decided he would rather have a paycheck every week rather than be an owner so my Dad bought him out but he kept working for the company until he retired." Mr. Ralph Meloon went on to tell me a story that I had forgotten being told by my Mom about how Grandpa got his hand a little too close to the saw blade and it flung a couple of his fingers across Orange Ave. at the old factory! Since my Grandpa passed before I was born, it was great talking to someone that knew him besides family. Thanks Mr. Ralph Meloon!
Life can take some ironic twist. My wife and I and our son make a living working with boats made by a company that my Grandpa was part of starting! We started an upholstery business 38 years ago with no conscious intentions of it morphing into a business specializing in Correct Craft boats. God works in mysterious ways!
