Do you think the ‘highly intelligent academics at vandy’ will ever realize, “To those unaware of the intricacies of nautical travel, “anchor down” means STOP. A ship may drop anchor for a number of reasons, perhaps to await PASSAGE of a TEMPEST and or ALLOW the CREW to REST.”? Of course, the “commodore” was no commodore either.

EXACTLY my first thought...those should remain in your family forever. Priceless is a word thrown around often carelessly but that's the only word that works here. My brother (before he got arthritic , nervous, and shaky was an artist and has done several Vols paintings. We treasure those as well and all I have is a photo of the paintings :(:(. Thanks for sharing Doug. You were IMO top three all time VFLer.

When you consider that a ship puts its "anchor down" when it is not intending to go anywhere, it's perfectly appropriate for Vandy.
