My parents were both officers in the United States Navy. My father George, Lieutenant, J.G. commanded US 1355 on Atlantic coast convoy duty. My my mother, Ensign Clare was a communications officer at Norfolk, Va. When they died memorial plaques were placed in public places - at the Santa Barbara municipal glof course; and the Clare Conk houses on the board of which she served.
Mom and Dad were cremated. We cast their ashes at sea - in the Santa Barbara Channel where we were surrounded by hundreds of migrating southbound dolphins.
