I fell in love with the Ohio River at an early age. I loved watching the towboats go by. I enjoyed seeing Big Bill Kinzler and Capt. John Beatty most weekends after my allergy treatments. They let me take short trips on their tugs. I went to work for Ashland Oil as a deckhand. I didn’t for being gone for 28 days, so I left and started my soft drink career.
