In January 2011, Elizabeth wrote:
The ceremony took place on Monday, August 22. The “Lovely Martha”
was in the shop for repairs so Captain Mike welcomed us aboard the Silver
Fox instead. We left Fisherman’s Wharf bound for
Kirby Cove, west of
the Golden Gate’s north tower, about 9:30 am. Rachel Bauman, our
Minister from the First Congregational Church, officiated.
Others present (in order of appearance in the following): Lewis
with Rachel, Johnny, Patty and Kirk, Charlotte Russell, Patty, Dave,
Johnny, Nanette, Bruce, Connie, Dave, Nanette, Patty, Steve, ...
and Helen Rubardt. Heartfelt thanks to Cynthia Perry for the
lion’s share of these pictures, with the remainder coming
from Steve. (Click an image to view hi-res.)
My ashes final resting
At a convenient date for my family members and friends, I want my ashes to be scattered in the Pacific Ocean. I want a service performed on the boat, “Lovely Martha” similar to one I attended for Dan Apra in the spring of 2010. Mike Rescino was the boat’s captain, who has officiated in many of such ceremonies.
