Steve
I tried to interpret this, clean it up, etc. I don’t think I got all of it.
Are you asking me to post it?
Did you ever check into that typing by eye movement option?
https://www.facebook.com/rick.rozen
I assume you are referring to this guy?
Sea Run
I have been trying literally all night to send you a new message through the obscene gmail which haste. it was mainly that I am trying to get back to work plus a little setycjhof the Rozen bros whiskey, am feeling nostalgic for the ocean, Unfortunately all those old fishermen’s shacks now go for a million dollars, literally strange days. But it was in Brant Rock (which see) where the old boy would sing “We’re the boys from Nova Scotia” and once I saw two old fisherman go after each other with two cod! (One, old Bill was from OKLAHOMA but had fallen for New England when he was in the navy in WWII. He was as authentic as anyone I knew and the best all rounder I ever knew.
nostalgia. look up the captain ricks. I and he I hope is the messaged:
I hope you will stay on when I come back- that’s when not if COME BACK – I envision a dialog, for unfortunately right now I write like this- someone who never had spelling errors on his papers. I have to find a better way to do my work that I have left- which is a large amount including a book. I am going to start a dictation search. If you have anyone who can take dictation on a phone please let me know. It will be for glory, not money. Could you give me a number to call, and tos if you want, and eventually a visit? (Mostly No I’ll pay.) meanwhile mgret me in my Blog!
I am full of ideas, phrases and UF, I am becoming extremely frustrated.Tell me what is going on.
ALSO! have been looking at photos of Duxbury Beach- look at the sunset ones and the high up views likely coNca- you’ll see him again, and he Is calling this am He caught a huge striper then, and landed it walking off the beach. And then there is the late capt Rick Rozen, my high school friend and surreal fisherman, captain of the”Half Fast.” A boat I have pics of. I remember him running psantles after his girlfriend who had left because he got drunk, crying “I CAN’T SLEEP WITHOUT MY KNIFE,” and I just found out his NEPHEW and namesake and inheritor got the Half Fast and kept her in the water. He is on facebook and FIFTY. AARGH!
He shot the only LC Smith I ever liked, a featherweight framed 12 choked IC and IC, I think. It was deadly. I’d have it in a minute!
He had a gay brother Billy who ran around with his boyfriend who was in a chauffeur’s uniform because he was the driver for Hope Cooks grandparents lts he if you remembered the quieemn of sikkim (he cooks) They would force you off the road with their big caddy and give you champagne — bilin some hipierah suits that had been a tux. He got open published in the Congressional record which he carried around. He would come out with his good bridge fishing the wineterm mostly big cod and such- slow moving, but Billy would pick up the clams again and again- we had good steamers, as the coldwater didn’t bother them much, he sighed and saids Stephen, I know this. I am not a COMPLETE idiot. I am only interested in perfecting my CASTING!!
bles you, Billy. I hope there are a lot of fat swimming clams wherever you went. And I should have known that one of the riugratsat thwrozenfakily mansion – there were two broods running around all name Rick, Billy, Joe and John-and two little girls, all called “Bleachy” because of their blonde hair. And they all crewed for Rick, OF COURSE, one ended up with the boat. Look HIM UP ON FB. RICK ROZEN IN MARSHFIELD
BUT FIFTY? jeez.
Look on google for an obit on “capn” rick, and you may use this suitably ediedwspcialy “I’LL BE BACK.
and thanks for doing the work so well, even when I have been sick I can’t easily even express that, it is FAMILIAALs And not easy for another man to say, and I tend to think more McCabe than Bodio…

Per Steve,
i A M refferrg to “YOUNG” Cap rick.
What you have is fine — go ahead and put it in our comments on the blog. I’ll comment if I can.
If readers here can fill in the blanks on what I missed feel free. Some may be better at parsing Steve’s text than me.
Wonderful to see some words, even if they are jumbled about.
Bless you Steve.
At times when I get an email from Steve I feel like I did when first reading Shakespeare, or Beowulf, or le Morte D’Arthure. At first it’s all Greek, but then something pops and you sort of translate it instinctively. Sort of. Well done here! I cannot believe there doesn’t exist a voice recognition software that could help him write again. Or that New Mexico couldn’t supply someone to assist. My solipsistic and chronic hypochondriac ex- (i.e. deceased) sister-in-law got full-time at-home care in Grants.
Instead of typing, you could record videos to post.
Not to intrude but timing insists –
What Mr Hanson suggested – the feeling one gets anytime reading from Stephen Bodio
I’ve been lost away from here for too long time, in my own hounds and adrift, and then comes a holiday overflowing with remembering and so I check in and there is Mr Hanson’s and seeing the comments about Slow Horses — how fitting that here — (here!).
In the reading of our host — for me, it’s not just the way the words are on the page, it’s how one feels reading them and after.
Sending very best to Steve and Libby and to you Contributors – John B we know one another long time, and Reid Farmer I’ve read allot, also thru time.
With appreciation and best wishes for holiday and beyond,
-Margory
Is there any way to contact Steve, or send correspondence? I’ve been attempting to reach out to discuss his work.
I forwarded the request.
Thank you, appreciated.
