Rejected by the Navy as too young, he shipped out on a short cruise to Hawaii only to spend a year in the most forward areas of the Pacific war zone. Remaining at sea he quicky rose to officer status and a commission in the U.S. Naval Reserve. On active duty in the Navy he
served destroyers and auxiliaries in Atlantic and Pacific Fleet. During a short period of inactive duty he returned to the merchant marine until augmented into the U.S. Navy as a Lieutenant, USN and unexpectedly was ordered to command. Until retirement in 1975 he served in four destroyers and three auxiliaries, on senior staffs and as an instructor. After retiring as Captain, USN from the Naval Weapon Station, Concord, California he was employed as ship’s pilot on the bays, rivers and ports in the San Francisco Bay region. His final years of active
employment were with the California Maritime Academy and American P resident Lines.ver menos
