Was the model for Burgess Meredith's character in the 1965 John Wayne film, In Harm's Way.

While he was married to the widow of the owner of Calumet Farm, he developed something of a knack for naming the farm's horses. One was named Eastern Fleet (possibly as a tribute to his service in the Navy) - he finished Fourth in the 1971 Kentucky Derby. Another was named Myrtle Morgan after the streets that intersected in front of his property in Saratoga Springs, NY.
