I still believe that most men are good and would only mentor kids in a healthy way. But, because of the things that we know today, and the presence of “coincidences” the White Squall tragedy, this subject begs extra scrutiny.

I am truly sorry, if I cause someone’s good name to be put in a dark light but I feel drawn to investigate this further:

Here are the circumstances that seem very closely related to the subjects Q has been directing us to research, particularly pedophilia, private schools and the elite:

1. Q mentioned White Squall and we mostly took it as a sudden, catastrophic event. But could he have mentioned it for more than one reason? “Things have double meanings.”

1. The aptly named, but ill-fated vessel, The Albatross, was a “floating prep school”. In general, prep schools seem to be hotbeds for all kinds of abuse and secret activities. Lots of things could happen out on the high seas and no one would ever see or hear anything.

1. The skipper/teacher of the Albatross was Christopher Barrows Sheldon. He grew up with wealth, attended private schools and earned degrees from Lima, Peru and Madrid, Spain. It is certainly not a sin to be wealthy, but the “old money” families do seem to breed a lot of disgusting and secret activities.

1. Sheldon, himself, was mentored on a sailboat called The Yankee, from age 15, by Irving Johnson. https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Johnson

1. Johnson had a woman doctor on the Yankee. Her name was Alice N. Strahan. She tended to a lot of teen boys and must have really enjoyed her work because she constructed her life to be around them always. She and Christopher Sheldon married, in 1959.

1. Together, the two founded the Ocean Academy, the floating prep school for boys. The Albatross was their classroom. Four boys, a math teacher, the cook and Alice were lost at sea, when the squall hit.

1. Dick Langford, a surviving teacher, had this to say: “Sheldon was just a bad luck skipper.” That seems pretty detached and cavalier, for such a devastating event, doesn’t it?

1. Some survivors still refuse to talk about the event. This doesn’t seem completely strange but a little bit, for sure. Could something else have happened?

1. After the accident and the loss of his wife, Sheldon was a trainer for the Peace Corps in Columbia and Puerto Rico.

1. In 1965, he resumed his floating school with a new vessel but had another accident; a fire, this time. Luckily no one was lost.

1. He died while being cared for by his companion, a woman named Anne Ramsey. I only see one "Anne Ramsey" who was a Hollywood actress, but I don't think it's her.

As I said, this may have been a wonderful man who was genuinely trying to impart as much wisdom and adventure to the boys as he possibly could. If this is nothing, please know that I am sorry to have mentioned an innocent person’s name, but all of this has made me into somewhat of a cynic.
