A Mississippi River Rat A Mississippi River Rat

I was born and raised on the banks of the Mississippi River in La Grange Missouri. Rodjena sam i podigli na obalama rijeke Mississippi je u La Grange Missouri. I am a grandson of one the few old lamplighters. Ja sam unuk od rijetkih starih lamplighters. For years my grandfather Ben would get up early on every Saturday morning and load up the boat with bottles of oil for the river navigation lamps. Za godina moj djed Ben bi se rano dobili na svaku subotu ujutro i load up brod s boce od ulja za rijeku orijentacija svjetiljke. He would also load up big black tarred hoop fishing nets as he also fished for a living and to eat. On bi također učitati se veliki crni tarred kolut ribarskim mrežama kao i on fished za dnevni i jesti.

There was always had carp or catfish or buffalo fish to eat and we were never really hungry back in the 1940’s. Došlo je uvijek imao šaran ili som ili bivol ribu jesti, a mi bili nikad zaista niste gladni natrag u 1940. I was born right at the end of the war and a few years later my grandfather turned over the job of lamplighter to my father. Rodjena sam pravo na kraju rata i nekoliko godina kasnije moj djed pretvoren u posao lamplighter da moj otac. My dad bought a used Chriscraft inboard boat that had a six cylinder Chrysler flat head engine and it would go about thirty miles an hour. Moj tata kupio rabljeni Chriscraft brodski čamac koji je imao šest cilindara Chrysler stan glavi motora i to će ići oko trideset milja na sat. When my dad took over being the lamplighter they changed from the old oil lamps to electric lamps which used little light 6 volt light bulbs. Kad je moj tata preuzeo je lamplighter se promijenila od starog uljanice na električni svjetiljke koje koriste malo svjetla 6 volt svjetlosti žarulje.

The lights needed batteries which my dad made up with a metal can that several plates of zinc were placed in along with some acid and river water. Svjetla baterije koji je potreban da bi se moj tata napravio sa metal može da nekoliko ploče i cink su se nalazili u zajedno s nekim kiselina i rijeke vode. After a few years these made up batteries were replaced with plastic batteries. Nakon nekoliko godina te su se baterije su zamijenjeni plastičnim baterije. I used to go with my dad to replace the lights and batteries. Koristio sam da ide s mojim tata zamijeniti svjetla i baterije. We would load the boat up and go to every river light from Quincy Illinois to Keokuk Iowa. Mi bi opterećenje na brod i ići na svakom rijeci svjetlo iz Quincy Illinois na Keokuk Iowa. We continued this from the 1940s up and until the early 1950s. Mi i dalje ovo iz 1940s se i do ranih 1950-ih godina.

My family almost lived on the Mississippi river. Moja obitelj gotovo živjeli na rijeci Mississippi. We spent a lot of time and almost every weekend with friends on the sandbars swimming and water skiing for a lot of years. Mi je proveo puno vremena i gotovo svaki vikend s prijateljima na sandbars kupanje i skijanje na vodi za mnogo godina. This was probably the greatest time ever. Ovo je vjerojatno najveći vrijeme ikad.

In the early 1950s my dad “Pete” decided to go into the boat and motor sales and services. U ranim 1950-ih moj tata "Pete" odlučili otići na brod i motor prodaju i usluge. He sold Evinrude motors and Duracraft boats. On je prodao Evinrude Duracraft motori i plovila. Boaters from all over came to his business to get their boat or have theirs repaired. Nautičari iz svih krajeva dođe na njegovo poslovanje kako bi dobili njihove brodom ili se na njih je popravljao. Then, the boaters wanted to be able to get soda and beer, so my dad added coolers to keep it cold to sell. Tada, nautičari su htjeli biti u mogućnosti da biste dobili mineralna voda i pivo, tako moj tata dodano coolers da i dalje ostane hladno prodati. As more boaters came and wanted more, he added a grill to fix hamburgers and hotdogs too. Kao što je više nautičara dođe i htjela više, dodao je on grill utvrditi hamburgers i hotdogs previše. Around the later 50’s he had a relative build a restaurant on top of the boat sales building and added boat docks for the boaters and also added gas pumps. Oko 50 kasnije je on imao u odnosu sagraditi restoran na vrhu broda prodaje zgrade i privezište za brod dodano brod za nautičare i dodao gas pumpe. I then became known all over as “Jerry on the dock”. I onda je postala poznata diljem kao "Jerry na brodogradilište". We sold Skelly gas for years. Mi smo prodali Skelly za plin godina. The restaurant business overtook the boat sales and the business called “Pete’s Boat House” was born. U restoranu poslovnim preuzelo prodaja brodova i poslovne zove "Vez za Pete's House" je rođen. For over 30 years, it was the place to stop on the Mississippi River. Za preko 30 godina, bio je mjesto da se zaustavi na Mississippi River. It was known by boaters and barge companies from St. Louis to St. Paul Minnesota. To je bio poznat po nautičare i barka tvrtki iz St. Louis St. Paul Minnesota.

Everyone who was boater for miles up and down the Mississippi River knew “Pete Brandt” at “Pete’s Boat House” in La Grange Missouri. Svatko koji je bio čvrsti slamnati šešir za milja i niz Mississippi River znao "Pete Brandt" i "Pete's Boat House" u La Grange Missouri. A lot of this can be seen at HTTP://www.lagrangemissouri.com Mnogo toga može se vidjeti na HTTP: / / www.lagrangemissouri.com

Back in the 1950s and 1960s and 1970s the river was the place to be. Natrag u 1950-ih i 1960-ih i 1970s rijeke je mjesto biti. Anyone who was anyone had boat and went to Pete’s Boat House. Bilo tko je bilo tko koji je brod i ode na Pete's Boat House. Dad had an all you can eat buffet and there still isn’ta place that had deep fried chicken as good as was found at Pete’s Boat House. Tata je imao sve što možete jesti buffet i tamo još uvijek nije mjesto u kojem je bio duboko pržena piletina kao dobar kao što se nađe u Pete's Boat House. I can remember that on many Sundays that the place was so busy, the customers would come into the kitchen and wash their own plates and get in line that ran down the length of the 80 foot long building and then out the front door and down the steps. Ja mogu sjetiti da je na mnogim nedjeljom da je mjesto bilo tako zauzet, klijenti će ući u kuhinju i oprati vlastite ploče i dobiti u skladu da otrča dolje u dužini od 80 noga duga zgrade i onda se ulazna vrata i niz korake. Everyone loved the food at Pete’s Boat House. Svatko je ljubio hrana i Pete's Boat House. My dad “Pete” was so contentious about the quality of the food he prepared, he would watch the dirty plates when they came in to see if anything wasn’t eaten and then if he found a plate with food still on it, he would go out to see why the customer didn’t eat it. Moj tata "Pete" je tako spornim o kvaliteti hrane je pripremljen, on će gledati u prljave tanjure kad su stigli u vidjeti ako ništa nije jeo, a zatim, ako je on našao jedan tanjur s hranom još uvijek na njemu, on bi izađe da vidi zašto gost ne jedi ga. There was no better Catfish or Chicken or Carp prepared better anywhere during the years of Pete’s Boat House. Nije bilo bolje som ili šaran Pileći ili bilo gdje bolje pripremljen tijekom godina Pete's Boat House.

When I was growing up and going to the La Grange School, all the kids went to the Boat House after school to get sodas and dance to the music on the juke box. Kad sam bio gore i raste idući u La Grange škola, svi djeco otišla na Boat House poslije škole da bi dobili sodas i ples na glazbu na juke box. And, the boat house was the place where any kids could get a job for the summer. I, brod je kuća bila je mjesto gdje se bilo koje djeca mogu dobiti posao za ljeto. Pete would hire them all to do something. Pete bi najam ih sve učiniti nešto. Pete added a bowling alley where the kids could go to bowl for ten cents and they took turns working setting pins for other bowlers. Pete dodani kuglana, gdje djeca mogu ići u zdjelu za deset centi i oni uzmu skreće radno postavljanje igle za druge bowlers. Pete also added a pool table and pinball machines. Pete i dodao bazen stol i Fliperi. The town back then didn’t need a Teen Center, all they had to do was to meet at Pete’s Boat House. Grad natrag tada nije potrebna Teen Centar, svi oni su morali učiniti je ispuniti i Pete's Boat House.

Pete, my dad passed away in January 1980 and the place sold a year later and a year after that, the place burned down. Pete, moj tata uminu u siječnju 1980 i mjesto prodao godinu dana kasnije i godinu dana nakon toga, mjesto izgorjelo. Pete’s Boat House was the in place for thirty years. Pete's Boat Kuća je u mjesto za trideset godina.
