| 摘要： | W.A. 'Peanut' Hollinger Dies In Paducah, Ky. W.A. "Peanut" Hollinger, a much-storied entrepreneur from Paducah, Ky., and Eustis, Fla., who had been involved in almost every aspect of the river business at one time or another during his long career, died April 15 in Paducah at the age of 83. For the last 25 years or so, operating as First Marine Properties, he had dedicated himself to developing a river terminal and container port in Calvert City, Ky., on the Tennessee River; he began on the river as a deckhand when he was 13, having run away from home to work on the Saint Francis River hauling logs. Hollinger would go on to become the youngest licensed first-class pilot on the Mississippi River, eventually rising to the rank of captain on some of the most powerful towboats on the river. He told WJ reporter Jeff Yates he used to run the Ar- kansas and White rivers before they were navigable, "when the only way you could get in and out of there was in a flood." |
