WXXV News 25 July 12, 2021 Today marked a milestone for a gem here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Captain Ron Reiter, the skipper of the Maritime Museum’s Biloxi schooners, celebrated 90 years of life. Over the years, Captain Ron has become an icon on the Coast. One crew member even says ‘he’s not from the Coast, but he makes the Coast.’ “What gets anybody involved in painting, animals, whatever– sailing appealed to me. For one thing every day is a challenge. It’s never the same. And with what I’m doing here, the people are always different. It’s an opportunity to share one of my big passions with a lot of people. And how good can it get?”
