Ben Sohd, above left, and Charles deQuillfeldt III, are shown admiring a goose decoy (circa 1935) made by deQuillfeldt's father as a "hunting tool" used in his waterfowl guiding livelihood, in Amityville over 70 years ago.

Charles and his wife Sandy even honeymooned during duck season aboard his father's cabinboat "Hunter" in 1949.
