An article in Sunday’s Local section on the estate sale of former Gov. Elbert Carvel quoted Olin Vanaman of Wilmington about his excitement in purchasing 35 of the governor’s decanters during the auction, including one used at Queen Elizabeth’s coronation. Vanaman said he used a slang term when describing Carvel as “a big boozer,” but he did not mean that the former governor was a heavy drinker. Vanaman refers to people who collect decanters as “boozers,” he explained, “the same as guys who collect cars are gear-heads.” No reference to drinking or the consumption of alcohol was intended in the article.
