Dedications

Thank you both so very much for the love, the companionship, and the opportunity to have traveled the world. It has been an adventure of a lifetime.

John Alvin Davis, Jr.

of Los Angeles, California.

Commanding Officer USS Greenfish (SS-351) and the most highly decorated submarine skipper of the Cold War. What wonderful memories; I can still envision Diamond Head through the crosshairs of the periscope. What a thrill! You are my mentor and my best friend: May the sands in front of the Royal Hawaiian always keep shifting; a virtual certainty, especially after a few rounds at the Mai Tai Bar!

Agnes (Sissy) Barr Davis

of San Rafael, California.

You are exceedingly beautiful and the most gracious woman God has placed on this magnificent planet. Your style and class is only surpassed by your generosity, unique warmth and alluring charm. Doreen, Arthur, Heidi and I are, and will always remain, exceedingly grateful. With dad at sea for most of his career, Lord only knows how you found the courage to corral, the patience to guide, and the strength to protect four rather rebellious heathens.
