the old naval training boat that was tied up in the nineties somewhere. He was that sort of a fellow then.

We got to know him very well. My husband had known him but I got to know him better and better. One summer when his children were little infants, our child was an infant and Henry Bruere had two little children the same age and one older one, we all three took houses in Great Neck, Long Island. Douglaston actually was the name of the place, but it's near Great Neck. There the Sound makes a beautiful kind of a sweep. There's a big bay there. What attracted us to it and attracted the Moseses to it was that it was easy to keep a boat. There was a yacht club where you could keep a boat. We had our boat moved over and they had their boat moved over from the Connecticut shore. They kept a boat and sailed when they had the opportunity to. He was a very, very good sailor in small sail. He handled a boat very well. He was also a wonderful swimmer - I think the most perfect swimmer I ever met. I never saw a man who could swim so long, so easily, so far, with such confidence and security. His swimming capacities were like those of a life saver, but he only swam for recreation. He loved it above every other form of recreation.

We were all working hard for one reason or another. We used to come out to Long Island on a fairly late train.
