Don As A Yachtsman

Don had a wonderful old Yacht named Westward. He gave me my first yacht captain job CapHenning (talk) 00:31, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Lol, I don’t know why that sent and I can’t edit. Don was a very proficient operator and had taken Westward around the world. I was hired by him to be part of the crew for the summer cruise to Canada.

He was a truly “Good Guy”. He was a pleasure to work for, and even generous with the crew. When we hit shore everyone got $200 above pay to go eat and drink.

His involvement with HAM is understated. I was informed by his wife that it was his greatest passion, because he read Morse that sounded like a dial up modem faster than the CRT Morse Reader he made could display it on the screen. I told him for all he had invented and done, what he just did impressed me more than all of it combined.Some of his proudest moments were of service in the Amateur Radio Relay League during the war.

As we were going through the final preps to depart Newmarks in Long Beach, Don brings down all the charts for the trip, and I mean all of them, at every scale. Anywhere we could possibly go, we had up to the closest scale. I asked, “How many charts do you have?” His reply was simply, “All of them.” He meant All As well, if it was published anywhere in the world, it was available in his chart room at home, which was next door to Bob Hope.

One last parting observation of Don as a human: The next summer I was running Avalon Shore Boat and an extra cruise ship came in. I was assigned to provide the service, a woman was wearing an IEE Annual Cruise, I queried the shirt and she confirmed it was the company and that the owner closes the company for a week every year and chartered a cruise ship or reserved out a resort and sent the company and their families on vacation. She was surprised when I asked if Don was aboard. CapHenning (talk) 01:07, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
