Dyer was a member of somewhat high society, with a net worth of at least $500,000 in 1922. He owned the Yacht "Jack 'O Lantern," which was piloted to several victories by Abbot H. Brush. Despite his high ties, there was trouble at home. In late 1922, a petition for divorce was filed by his wife, Josephine Dryer in Greenwich, Connecticut, citing intolerable cruelty, and infidelity with a young woman from Greenwich. He was one of 4 brothers,
George, Frank and Richard, all of whom had US Navy backgrounds. In 1904 George Dyer was appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt as
governor of Guam. ==References==
