It's amazing the similarities and how genetics are so lasting.
That photo looks almost exactly like one I took of Nebe on Block Island a few years back just before he threw the short into the box.

Nebe - great stuff ... see if you can dig up some of the tarpon history - while stripers are the fish, tarpon are the silver king of the seas ... and love hearing stories of how people used to catch them back in the early early days ... if you can't find anything on it, we can always make it up ...  |

Hey Nebe, would that be the Horton as in Horton Point in Wading River? I assume he was a Puritan leaving CT because of persecution, which is why mostly Puritans settled in the eastern end.
I just found this which may be of some interest to you.

I didn't realize the Conklins and the Hortons were related. One of my bosses is an original Conklin (Conckling).
That is quite the family history. |
