A superpod of dolphins in Monterey Bay.
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.
