John Alvin Davis Jr.—Los Angeles, California.
Commanding Officer of the USS Greenfish (SS-351) and the most highly decorated submarine skipper of the Cold War. Gathering intelligence on the Russian Pacific Fleet in Vladivostok Harbor with half of your submarine below crush depth and Soviet torpedoes racing by the hull was rather gutsy. However, with the United States lagging so far behind the Soviets in the space race in 1959, capturing the first Soviet telemetry package north of the Hawaiian Islands by snagging the cords of the parachute with your periscope was truly courageous.
What wonderful memories; I can still envision Diamond Head through the crosshairs of the periscope. What a thrill!
May the sands in front of the Royal Hawaiian always keep shifting—a virtual certainty after a few rounds at the Mai Tai Bar!
