David Bessom, Nauset Marsh Tour Guide 

I miss Capt. Bessom. A gentleman, storyteller, holder of a J.D. from Boston College, a pleasure to talk to over a "substantial" gin and tonic.

I always enjoyed serving David whenever he frequented the Yardarm bar. Polite, intelligent, friendly, and beloved by staff and customers alike. Sorely missed and irreplaceable.

Thanks for that Tom!!! Love these videos!!!!! Sad that so many of these every day characters are gone

What a trip seeing Dave after all these years. He was a year ahead of me in school. (His brother Richard was a year behind me.) In Dave's senior year at Orleans, High, we were in French class together. In the middle of the year, for some reason I can't remember, we got a new teacher. (Actually I think Gordon Argo was the original teacher and he left), a lady whose name I can't remember. Anyway, she didn't have a class roster and she went around asking us all our names. Dave said his name was Alberto Capone. For the next month she always referred to Dave as "Mr. Capone" and the rest of us struggled to contain our laughter.

what year was this recorded?
