His father ("Pops") retired to Drayton Island in the St Johns River

Fred often visited him, driving the 19-hour trip in one stint.
Fred was a big fan of opera. He’d play the Ring going to see his parents. Said he get
there in
2.5 operas. That’s 400 miles/opera, or maybe 100 MPH. This is certainly faster than
Doug’s number. I think Fred said he went 90 MPH, which is totally consistent with his
personality.
