you know, I did not know about this web sit untill now. I was on the rush with your Dad. We were deck hands and did not know a lot about anything. I just remember Bones was a vary nice person to work with. I think Gaul and Bones did a lot together with the painting and scraping the deck.I got to be in charge of the paint locker after words, so we got split up. I wish I could have met him like all the other rush shipmates latter in life. the ones I worked with as a deck hand. I am sorry to hear about his passing.
