Mahogany Bay The House That Todd Built
By Tom Schley
"For Rome so near us, for the phoenix moment When we have thrown off this traveler’s trance And mother-naked and ageless ancient Wake in her warm nest of renaissance." - Cecil Day-Lewis (1904-1972) Flight to Italy
Meet F. Todd Warner of Mound, Minnesota. He is a most interesting fellow. Hell… he’s downright fascinating. There is no one word or sentence to accurately describe him. To simply say that he is unique would be a gross understatement in fact. Genius?… in all likelihood. Knowledgeable?… exceptionally so. Passionate about boats?… intensely. Talented?… immensely. Professional?… Top Shelf. Tough?… as Rhino hide. Accomplished?… still counting. He is both a guardian of history and a maker of it. Old?… hardly.
