My father died 3 years ago. He would have loved getting together
with all the men of the Rockaway. They were some of his proudest days.
He lived a great life with his wife Jean Kearney and their five children.
Dad never moved far from the Ocean. He loved boating and sailing all of his life.

KING, William ( GM1, 51-52, 54-56 ) New Mexico
I was on the Rockaway in 1950 when we lost Captain Hinnant and remember
seeing his daughter when she visited the Rockaway before we went out on that
weather patrol. I would like to tell her that her father had to go over the fantail
to free up the screws because of the storm coming up. He was one of the finest men
I have ever known.
I was transferred to the CGC Gentian in 1952, then returned to the Rockaway in 1953
to 1955. I made the 1954 Cadet Cruise and was aboard when Hurricane Diane forced us
to abandon the British Freighter Wychwood.
I had 6 years in the regulars and 10 years in the reserves. I now make "Jesus Knot Boards"
with the skills I learned in the Coast Guard. So far I have made over 1,151 boards and over
100 hang in 33 Foreign Countries. You can see one on my web site (below). I would also like
to make a few Rockaway Boards for my old shipmates. I hope you'll get back to me.

I'm particularly interested in the stuff he'd hoped to "live down".
