Stories from an Old Salt

James Henry, 98 and of Mystic, has just written a autobiography called "In a Fisherman's Language", which is a 29 chapter book covering the entirety of his life from boyhood to lobster fisher and captain of 3 ships through his career to old age. However, James Henry was illiterate until age 96, which was when he moved to Academy Point Senior Home in Mystic. He learned to read during his 96th and 97th years of life and now he wrote his book. The website is www.fisherman'slanguaage.com
