The Sea Wolf is a novel written in 1904 by Jack London.  I love this book.  I think it is a proper title for Gary's sailing adventures. Kevin wanted to name it, Captain Ron's Adventures.  This is a reference to the 1992 movie, Captain Ron.  I think this is also a fitting title.  But I just love Sea Wolf.  Gary is my second cousin.  Our family is from Ellis County, mainly around Italy, Texas.  He is a few years older than I am.  He is also my cohost's Kevin's older brother.  Many of my life's experiences involved the Helms family.  I asked Gary to let us interview him because of his of his extrausual life.  Gary put himself through school and worked his way up through the many corporate identities of Vought Aircraft.  Gary became a quality control inspector for their aircraft parts suppliers.  This job took Gary all over the world to different supply plants to inspect their processes and products.  In addition to his career, Gary has had a lifelong passion for sailing.  He is currently in the process of sailing his 42-foot yacht down the Pacific Coast side of the continent and is attempting to sail it through the Panama Canal.  I guarantee if you listen to the podcast, you will learn something about aircraft and sailing.  I hope you enjoy the podcast.
