t.
It may be well to state in these closing remarks that a cause of
considerable business annoyance is the persistence with which many
people spell his name, Boy-n-ton instead of Boyton. This mistake happens
only in America.
One thing Boyton seriously regrets, is his inability to remember names
and faces. Consequently he is spoken to every day by those who have met
him in various parts of the world, and it is a source of much
embarrassment that he cannot always call their names as readily as they
remember him, for being of a social disposition he is always glad to
meet his acquaintances.
While keeping himself pretty busy in his shop over his charts during the
winter he still finds time to make runs in his rubber dress on Lake
Michigan, near his home, "Just to keep his hand in," he says.
He also goes on frequent hunting excursions.
Like most men who have led a roving life, he is fond of his home and a
pleasant smile always lights his face when his little children are
climbing over him asking for a story.
