  3. RIP sir. He helped shovel the mud out of my grandparents home in east mesa during the 1983 El Nino. his character will always overshadow most pols. taps. lee Early years and education[edit] Family heritage[edit] McCain's grandfather "Slew" (left) and father "Jack" on board a U.S. Navy ship in Tokyo Bay, c. September 2, 1945 John Sidney McCain III was born on August 29, 1936,[1] at a United States Navy hospital[2][3][4] at Coco Solo Naval Air Station[5][6] in the Panama Canal Zone, which at that time was considered to be among the unincorporated territories of the United States.[7] His parents were Navy officer John S. "Jack" McCain, Jr. (1911–1981) and Roberta (Wright) McCain (born 1912). McCain is of Scots-Irish and English ancestry.[8] John McCain's grandparents were natives of Arkansas, Mississippi, and Texas, and much of his ancestry was Southern on both his mother's side and father's side.[8] The McCain family's patrilineal ancestral home is in Mississippi's Carroll County;[9][10] they owned and ran a 2,000-acre (8.1 km2) plantation in Teoc from 1848 until 1952.[9][11] The plantation had slaves before the American Civil War – some of whose descendants share the surname and call themselves the "black McCains"[12] – and sharecroppers afterward; influential blues guitarist Mississippi John Hurt was born on the plantation to one of the latter.[9] The McCain family tree has a long heritage of American military service, with ancestors fighting as soldiers in the Indian Wars,[5] American Revolutionary War[13] (due to which McCain maintains a membership with the Sons of the American Revolution),[14] War of 1812,[15] for the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War,[9] and in World War I.[5] The tree also includes roguish behavior and economic success. John McCain's maternal grandfather, Archibald Wright (1875–1971),[16] was a Mississippi native who migrated to Muskogee, Oklahoma, in his twenties, ran afoul of the law with several gambling and bootlegging charges,[16] then became a strong-willed wildcatter who prospered on land deals during the early statehood years and struck oil in the Southwest.[16][17] Rich by age forty, he never worked again and became a stay-at-home father.[5][17] Raising a family in Oklahomaand Southern California, he instilled in Roberta and her twin sister Rowena a lifelong habit of travel and adventure.[18] There is also independent-minded behavior in the family tree: Jack McCain and Roberta Wright eloped and married in a bar in Tijuana, Mexico, when Archibald Wright's wife Myrtle objected to Roberta's association with a sailor.[19] McCain's father and paternal grandfather eventually became Navy admirals, and were the first father–son pair to achieve four-star admiral rank.[20] His grandfather, Admiral John S. "Slew" McCain, Sr. (1884–1945), was a pioneer of aircraft carrier operations[5] who in 1942 commanded all land-based air operations in support of the Guadalcanal Campaign, and who ultimately in 1944–1945 aggressively led the Fast Carrier Task Force in the Pacific Ocean theater of World War II. His operations off the Philippines and Okinawa, and air strikes against Formosa and the Japanese home islands, caused tremendous destruction of Japanese naval and air forces in the closing period of the war.[21] His death four days after the Japanese surrender ceremony in Tokyo Bay was front page news.[5] Jack McCain was a submarine commander in several theaters of operation in World War II and was decorated with both the Silver Star Medal and Bronze Star Medal.[21]

    White Mtns. Fishing?

    it was 1972 and i was bragging about how this 13yo had caught a great 5 fish limit(including a 15" squaretail) trolling w a cowbell. Mr. Law-the owner of the big lake concession-asked me if i would rather catch those fish while 'fishing' rather than 'trolling'.......? that put a spur under my saddle for life. i used to sell my trolling spot on charter boats for a beer. lee
