Here is Jud McCarthy, father of our lobsterman John McCarthy who owns the Tin Lizzy. The other day John and Jud pulled up after a long day lobstering in not-so-perfect conditions and Jud was head aqnd shoulders down in the lobster tank unloading it
Now I know how broke up my body feels at 40. I can’t even imagine doing the kind of work required to go lobstering at ninety two years old. This is one tough old bird.

My grandmother always used to say it is better to wear-out than to rust-out. I’m always amazed by how people who have worked hard all their lives can just keep doing it. Jud looks like he is not to be messed with. God bless him!
