    As a child, I knew Roy well. We used to love to go to his island and just listen to him talk about different things. I remember he was such a gentelman to the ladies. His dog,s name was "Boogem". What a dog. Roy built a special ramp up high to a look out tower so Boogem could alert him when company was arriving. He was a very intelligent man. My step father, Frank Braman, would take us kids out to his island every couple of months just so we could visit Roy and Boogemand play on the island.. What good times that was. I believe some where around 1955, 56, 57. Not real sure about that.

    "Henry Welby was a gentleman of fortune, education and popularity in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth who suddenly secluded himself from all public life – not as a hermit off in the wilderness but right in the middle of London. His irrevocable resolution to live a solitary life followed an incident in which his younger brother, displeased over some trifle or another, attempted to shoot him at close range, certainly with the intent to kill. - - - He ate only a salad of greens and herbs in the summer and a bowl of gruel in the winter. He drank no wine or spirits, only water or an occasional cheap beer. Occasionally, on a special day, he might eat an egg yolk, no white, or a piece of bread, no crust. Yet he provided a bountiful table for his servants." wretchedrichardsalmanac.wordpress.com/2018/10/29/october-...
