The last summer I stayed with Mother, they lived in a house near Dunbar Cave.

Sheila (our sister) and I were old enough to watch Captain Bill on t.v. and were very excited to learn that his mother and daddy lived next door to us! When he came home for a visit, we were invited over to meet him--I remember being so excited about meeting a "t.v. star"! The big day finally came and we couldn't wait to meet Captain Bill. And, there he was--in his swimsuit! I wasn't really sure this man was Captian Bill. He wasn't dressed like him at all--he didn't even have the hat! The grown-ups had to have been playing a trick on Sheila and me! After our meeting (and I probably expressed my opinions!), this "imposter" started wearing his "Captain Bill" hat whenever he went outside in case we saw him! > >Sorry this is so long--I just had to tell how disappointed I was when I got to meet Captain Bill!
