My Hawaiian Family - 1963 We lived in Hawaii for six years -- daughter Terri was born there. My other two children, Linda and Mike, were born in San Diego. Like most Navy families we lived all over the place: In Long Beach and San Diego, CA, near Quontico, VA, and in Hawaii's Eva Beach and Pearl Harbor areas. The kids learned to adapt!

A Navy Man...I graduated OCS in 1956 and retired in 1976! No, I didn't make it as an aviator -- After some time in the "Amphibs" and destroyers I got into salvage and deep sea diving, if you can imagine anything stranger! I was XO of the USS Reclaimer, and USS Dubuque, and "Skipper" of USS Current and lastly of ACU-1. I also served on USS MERRICK (AKA-97), the USS HOPEWELL DD-681), and for a brief while as an exchange officer on the Royal New Zealand Navy frigate OTAGO.
