[APG Public List] Help with occupation on census

[Craig Kilby]

Hmmm, a good challenge, this one.

My take is:

Manf of Segard Flag Rod

Not sure about the Segard word. *Manf* may stand for *Manufacturer*.

I just know SOMEONE on this list will solve the riddle.  And yes, what  
a nice tribute to poor old blind James Chase. Yes, makes you wish he  
was your guy to work on.
