The Story: 

This classic women's shirt is named after Ennis Merritt.  Ennis embarked on her journey at a young age, marrying Roy Sr. when she was just 17 years old.  Together, they raised a family of five children while establishing a successful charter fishing business.  Ennis took charge of the business operations, handling tasks such as feeding the crew, managing laundry, and organizing charter bookings, whereas Roy Sr. focused on fishing and maintaining the essential repairs for the five charter boats, building structures, and the houseboat that served as their family home.  Ennis played a crucial role, as her leadership and vision propelled the family to relocate south and facilitated the business's growth, earning her recognition as a key figure in the company's development and expansion.  A versatile woman, Ennis was often seen cutting a piece of wood, scraping a boat bottom, painting a boat, or doing any other job that was necessary.  Furthermore, she efficiently managed the operational aspects of the office, handling billing and inventory, and continued working full-time into her 80s, exemplifying her dedication and multifaceted skills.
