Captain Charles "Pink" Stanley ties a Fireman's Chair Knot for Larry, Tommy, and Jimmy Williams, August 1958. On reverse of photo: "Captain Pink Stanley showing how to tie knots to Larry Williams (beside Pink), Tommy Williams (next), Jimmy Williams (standing), August 1958". Downeast Magazine January 2020 edition included this photo on page 62 of their section on "The Way Life Was." Tom Williams' recollection of the photo in 2019: "My mom was a good amateur photographer and her boys gave her plenty of opportunities for photos like this one. Pink lived about 4 houses up the road from our summer home on Great Cranberry. All three of us visited him frequently and we have fond memories. Pink would share a mug-up with my youngest brother, Larry. Jim would get his help repairing his bike, and I would mow his lawn. We owned a 35 ft Chris Craft that we would hire Pink to Captain for us. He knew all the shoals, currents, and best vantage points for enjoyable sightseeing. I was about 10 years old then and am over 70 now. I can only hope that I've lived a life sharing and teaching that would make Pink Stanley proud." Tom Williams thinks his cousin John Townes (local professional photographer) or his mother took this photograph. Phil Whitney recalls: "Captain Charles “Pink” Stanley was a lobsterman and captain for summer people. Pink was around the waterfront much of the time....It was not uncommon for the older waterfront "rats" to mentor younger kids." See also 2019.440.2805E.
