Michael (Honey) Usina was a Captain in the US Coast Guard. At times he
was on an ice breaker. He was also a chaser for the "rum-runners" of the
prohibiation days. They had no children. Although his family used his
nickname Honey, he did not want to be called that while on ship for fear
of being teased. Based on a chess set he passed on to Antonica (Dolly) U
Fairbanks he enjoyed objects from metal (e.g. copper or brass). In this
case, the chess set was handcrafted by a machinist who worked for Honey
while on an ice breaker tour of dudy. His house was primarily in
Massachusetts. He had a soft temperment and was a "lady's man" while his
wife Alice loved to entertain and was austere. (Details based on verbal
recollection by Antonica U Fairbanks. She also recalls 'Honey' taking her
on visits to see the boats he was captain for.) The photograph here is
marked: "May 1930 at Nova Scotia. Michael Neligan Usina on ice patrol -
Coast Guard"
