Neil Cordeiro owned the Gulf station next to Duatre Motors on Bradford Street in P-town. That fish hung above his desk in his office. It was an awesome sight to behold. I'd buy my cokes from his machine, not my bosses, at breaktime just to see it. Got me some sideways glances from Joe Duarte, God rest him.
Mr. Cordeiro died in a boating accident much later. Good guy, took time to chat with a teenaged me .

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
