| At random: In 1921, a United States submarine, the R-14, having run out of fuel at sea while looking for the missing tug USS Conestoga, rigged sails from blankets and hammocks sewn together. Bunk frames were used for yardarms and booms. The torpedo loading king post for a fore mast, the torpedo loading boom for a mizzen mast and the telescoping radio mast, for the main mast. The R-14 sailed 100 miles in five days to the port of Hilo, T.H. at a speed of two knots. It has been reported in March 2016 that the Conestoga has been located 3 miles off Southeast Farallon Island, probably sinking with-in a day of leaving port. All hands lost. |

This is what he would have wanted to be remembered for: most of all, he loved his children Brady and Mackenzie, along with Wesley and Sabrina from an earlier marriage. He wanted his children to remember the kind, thoughtful, funny, determined, and brave guy he was, and that he was always devoted to them.
