Ray, I played on a patio 4 nights a week for 14 years, starting at 5:00 P.M. A local owner of a hat store brought me 4 Greek fishing hats. Soon, the owner, workers and customers began calling me "Captain". When I had to choose a name for the "Zone", it seeemed like a natural.

Now, the customers from the Merrick Inn still call me "captain".
