"After living with his father on a boat (large, looked almost like a cruise ship), my father went to work as a quartermaster on a boat that looked like the Delta Queen for several years and saved up for law school. He had a great knowledge of history and literature as a result of what we would now call home-schooling from his father. He then went to Baltimore, where he became active in local politics after getting his degree, practiced his first case before the Supreme Court in 1912 assisting Bonaparte's nephew - who wore a frock coat. He was appointed by Hoover to the Appellate Court, a lifetime position, but resigned early in the depression a few years before marrying. He was an attorney for the Federal Trade Commissioner and a constitutional lawyer, an expert witness many times before Congressional Committees."
