Second, the hectic transfer which two students and I had to perform in the weekend between two summer sessions from a rented landhouse in Cape May to the recently vacated Coaat Guard Station in Lewes. Loaded with equipment, supplies and surplus Millersville bunkbeds and other furniture, we made seven trips on the ferry. We soon managed to quickly unload our truck outside the CGS immediately after disembarking at Lewes and race the empty truck back catch the same ferry that brought us for its return trip to Cape May.
That went fine till late Sunday night, when we just missed the last ferry. To my immense surprise, gratitude and happiness, the Captain stopped the large ferry some hundred meter offshore, then stopped and actually backed up to the dock!

Third, the naming of the station. After considerable thought and in view of (1) the extensive facilities of the University of Delaware both at Roosevelt Inlet to our west and at Cape Henlopen to our east and (2) the unpleasant conditions which their Biology station director's Dr. Daiber had imposed on us if we were to share some of these, we named our "prestigious" newly acquired station: The Delaware Bay Marine Science Center - with emphasis on the word "Center".

That proved to be "hybris", because while Daiber had gone on record not to want the station, Gaither secretly talked with HEW and the Town of Lewes and obtained the station from HEW for the University of Delaware when we were confronted with - but could not afford to imnplement - HEW's recommendation that we physically move the building (since the transfer did not include the grounds on which it stood.) In addition, I was involved in a conflict of interest, what with me being a UDEL graduate student with Gaither on my Committee....
While releasing the "ownership" from TMSC to UDEL, I asked that the station continue to be used for marine purposes, rather than changed into a town library. Nevertheless, it was still rather galling when UDEL in turn transferred the building to the Delaware Bay Pilot Association.

Thus we were forced to close to DBMS "Center, and moved further south to Wallops Island, VA where an embarrassed Mr Joe Everett of HEW had re-possessed the property they had earlier transferred to the University of Virginia and turned it over to us (mainly Pennsylvanians) on a 30 year trial basis requiring satisfactory performance substantiated in annual reports - which test TMSC should have passed by now.
This is the Wallops Island Marine Science Center (WIMSC)
