He worked as a supercargo on his dad's cousin's 120 ft yacht, where he went to Fiji, PNG, Tahiti, Hawaii, Australia, etc. Thanks for that info. So the timeline would be: 1928 - Has $40,000 and travels around the world (twice), including tours of South Pacific 1930 - Working as a farmhand in Henderson County, Texas 1934 - Opens a bar in Hollywood, California Not impossible, but seems suspicious to me.
