1986 - Wood's Seafood - Port St. Joe

Posted on their facebook page 5/24/13 "Wood's Fisheries, back in the day. Seeing my grandfathers Volkswagen Jetta by the door brings back a flood of warm memories...like the smell of Mercurochrome in the office as he would DOCTOR on any shrimp headers in need on their way out the door after a long day of de-heading. This was not optional by the way..lol. The memory of the chest freezer he kept by the plant door so that anyone dropping by would not only get the tour but have some shrimp to take home as well and of course just him, a man short in stature but monstrously large in character and integrity.
Ed Wood"
