W.A. “Peanut” Hollinger, a much-storied entrepreneur from Paducah, Ky., and Eustis, Fla., who had been involved in almost every aspect of the river business at one time or another during his long career, died April 15 in Paducah at the age of 83. For the last 25 years or so, operating as First Marine Properties, he had dedicated himself to developing a river terminal and container port in Calvert City, Ky., on the Tennessee River; he began on the river as a deckhand when he was 13, having run away from home to work on the Saint Francis River hauling logs.
