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
Ed…longtime no hear…..I think Pogo bought the Edgar A….. love your fishing songs…. gotta stay and
make it pay, cut fish both night and day………knute

Beautiful site. Much appreciated.
Nice Site, saw a couple of uncles built boats,George Jacobsen.
My Grandfather Arthur Jacobsen and my Father Donald A Jacobsen Sr built mostly trollers and a few Cruisers. I built
3 gillnet boats, 4 partial (hulls) and one ski boat for my kids.
