Boat
helper Carroll “Kek” Bergeson had used his 19 years carefully and was now
a full-time student at Superior State Teachers College. A good herring
season would yield enough cash to finish the year, making this effort worthwhile.
In
1954, Dick gained access to a small garage and construction of a few ribs
was accomplished. It would be 22 feet long, he decided. A good “herring
boat,” just like those he knew from his childhood.
