Fred Elvsaas remembers: “Sergay, well Sergay -he was blind and they lived up right next to where Perry used to lived, where the Beech is, there were two houses built identical, they were two alike and they had a boardwalk between them, they were basic, two of them houses, and Sergay was blind, but he could build little boats with clock engines in them, and he had bird nests he had cut through the wall, because his mother cut these little holes and built these little bird nests in ’em, had swallows and he had ’em in cages and all kinds of this stuff. He was really a neat guy when I was a kid, he was probably about, you know, thirty or forty years old-what’s it say here, he was twenty-nine in ’34”
