From the Introduction "It may well be the the 'richest' years of my life were the twenty I spend "Living High on the Hog in King Mellon's Patch". In October of 1967 while I was steward aboard the Richard king Mellon yacht, Fortune Magazine calculated the Mellon family fortune to be at least $3 billion--possibly making them the richest family in the United States. Their philanthropy, their private natures, and their zest for wringing joy out of a world gone awry makes them worthy of attention. To drop but a few names of other colorful characters I met on the high seas (and elsewhere), there were Anna Pavlova, Jimmy Cagney, Tallulah Bankhead, General Westmoreland of West Point, Bill Carpenter (Du Pont family), Herbie May (husband of Meriweather Post), Cynthia Phipps, Prince Pignatelli and . But had it not been for a family named Mellon, a "boat" called Cassiar, and a yen to keep moving, I would not be sharing with you these mental etchings of famous sports figures, millionaire business tycoons, and popular movie stars." From the Preface: "This book is a true account of my experiences between 1912 and 1989. The passing years before I steward for Richard King Mellon aboard Cassiar are well-documented by historical references. But because boating personalities and incidents ripple concurrently through the slip-stream of my mind, some of the later anecdotes I cannot pin to a definite year. In several instances, where you see asterisks, I've used pseudonyms either because that particular name has been forgoten--or to protect identify. The house owners who rented rooms to the Baby-Face Nelson gang are an example of the latter. But for the most part, an attic full of date memorabilia--letters, photographs, newspaper clippings and diaries--supports the material." In 1966 Walter J McInnis designed an 80+ foot yacht with open decks amidships, called Lion's Whelp, which created quite a stir with its near-plumb bow and fore and aft deck houses. Two years later he adapted the design, drawing a 83+ foot version with more bow flare, which was built at the Goudy & Stevens Yacht Yard in Boothbay Harbour, Maine. She was called Cassiar and designed as a swordfishing boat for the then president of Mellon Bank. Richard King Mellon (June 19, 1899 - June 3, 1970), commonly known as R.K., was an American financier, general, and philanthropist from Ligonier, Pennsylvania, and part of the Mellon family. The son of Richard B. Mellon, nephew of Andrew W. Mellon, and grandson of Thomas Mellon, he and his sister Sarah Mellon Scaife and cousins Paul Mellon and Ailsa Mellon-Bruce, were heirs to the Mellon fortune, which included major holdings in Mellon Bank, Gulf Oil, and Alcoa. In 1957, when Fortune prepared its first list of the wealthiest Americans, it estimated that the four cousins were all amongst the richest eight people in the United States, with fortunes of between $400 million and $700 million dollars each. R.K. Mellon served as president and chairman of Mellon Bank. He also served on the board of trustees of the University of Pittsburgh over a span of several decades and was a major benefactor to the university. Mellon served in the United States Army in both world wars and remained active in the United States Army Reserve, receiving the Distinguished Service Medal and rising to the rank of lieutenant general. He is chiefly remembered for his urban renewal efforts in Pittsburgh, undertaken in an unlikely bipartisan (Mellon was a lifelong Republican) partnership with the city's postwar Democratic mayor David L. Lawrence. He married Constance (nee Prosser) McCaulley, daughter of New York City banker Seward Prosser, in 1936. First Edition [stated], presum.
