Capt. David Barchie looks for new challenges and opportunities every day. That's why working on the river has always appealed to him. Barchie, 60, of Daphne, Ala., began working for American Commercial Barge Line in 1983 and went up into the wheel-house in 1986, but he has been on the river for far longer. Barchie was in high school when he worked for a summer as a deckhand for the former Dick Meyers Towing Service, based in Mobile, Ala. At the time, his father was also working on the river, for Ohio Barge Line. "I used to go down there on Saturdays when he worked traffic and fish off the boats and hang out there a little bit," Barchie recalled. |
