My name is Ed Brooks. My brother is Bill Brooks. He fished out of coos bay and charleston for years. The Edgar A was one of his boats. The reason I am contacting you is; I am a song writer out of Nashville Tn. Many years ago, maybe late 80″s early 90’s I was visiting Bill. While I was there for just a few days, I gathered stories from the real deal fisherman and went home to nashville and wrote many songs. One of them is for The Gloria L. and Her captain that was lost. I just found this cassette today and would appreciate any contact info for the family of “Otto, or Oscar” the man that was lost. I want his family to hear this song. Thank you so much, Ed

make it pay, cut fish both night and day………knute
