He wrote over 500 letters to his wife, my mother Eleanor. His duty in the Pacific Theater took him from San Diego to Pearl Harbor, Eniwetok, Ulithi, Leyte Gulf (Philippines), and Buckner Bay (Okinawa).
After my mother's death, Daddy wanted to toss the letters. I convinced him to give them to me instead. The letters are a memoir of a remarkable time. Most of the letters begin with the words "Dearest Eleanor."

<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Friends and family gathered to
celebrate Gil's 90th birthday. On the day of his actual birthday, he and his friend Sandy were on a
trip around the world. His
recollections don't jibe with the letters he wrote 55 years earlier. The story of the two typhoons had morphed into one. </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The following is a transcipt of conversation at the party: </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>GIL: January is a big
month for me. I was born in January. Then
in 1943 the navy called me, and I entered in January. Then in 1946 January, the
navy was very very generous in allowing me to return to civilian life. January
is a big month. Here I am in January again. If I'd waited another couple of
days we'd be out of luck. Anyhow. Maybe next year in January we can do it again.</b></span></div>

Leyte Gulf in the Philippines. We were heading for Tokyo. Got to Okinawa. Something was the matter with
the screw they said so we had to repair it.</b></span></div>

<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>QUESTIONER: What kind

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>GIL: A flagship? It was old freighter that had been
converted to the flagship for the service squadron. The damn thing could go twelve knots when you had the thing
wide open and then it would go for awhile and go phfft. We were under repairs when we got the warning that we were having a typhoon
heading for Buckner bay in Okinawa. Any
ship that was able to get up steam they got out. Everyone who could get out got out.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>We couldn't get out so we put anchors on one end of the ship
and another anchor on the end of the ship. As the typhoon came in the anchors
wouldn't hold. We were torn lose. Then we started to go ahead. Anywhere the wind
went we went. </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>They blew one way and other way. Finally. The skipper knew, according to the
charts, that a reef was there. So he figured we'd head up on the reef and we'd be okay.
He headed up on the reef. The elements were not in favor of it, turned the ship around. There we were sitting on a reef. Every time the sea hit us we rolled back and
forth . Back and forth.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>QUESTIONER: Were you

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>GEORGE SR : Typical navy.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>GIL: This is not the
end of the story. The wind blowing blew
in a little patrol vessel that had some depth charges. The skipper of that ship wanted to get rid of
the depth charges so he dumped
them over the side. And as our ship
rolled back and forth, it rolled over and it triggered one of the depth charges. That's
not bad cause we're sitting on a reef.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>The wind is still blowing and here comes an LSM (landing
ship with troops on it) starts
heading in and plows into the hole that was blown open and that cut us in half.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>At that time the skipper called me up to the bridge and he said you and the medical doctor are abandoning ship and you are going over the side
and going ashore so when casualties occur we'd be there. </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>I had on an old Mae West. I had to go down to the office. Got
the medical records. Threw them over one shoulder and some other records over
the other shoulder.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Went over to the rail and looked down. There was a little raft big enough for 2 people. The skipper wanted me and the medical officer
to go down to that raft. Well it was 60
feet down. I had never gone down a line
in my life. I'll guarantee if you watched me you'd have said I'd been doing it my
whole life. </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>But anyhow as I
started going down the ship anytime the
ship would roll over, I'd look in at
nothing but water. When we got up I
could see that raft again. Got down onto the raft. This raft by some kind of a system they had they had shot a breeches buoy ashore and had raft tied to a line that
was going to pull us to the shore, that was 100 yards or so.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>The medical officer and I got into this was a foam raft with
slats on the bottom. They started bringing us in. Every time the
sea would raise us up and put us down on the coral would work on the bottom. It
didn't long before no bottom was left.
Our legs were hanging down in the cork raft. Every time we went down we'd pick up more
coral. The medical officer and I decided this is not a very good idea. So we got out of the raft, got a hold of
the line and pulled us into the shore.</b></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> More hot
news! I checked into the receiving
station this morning and I'm going aboard the APA 187 tomorrow at 8:00 AM. I tried to find out when and </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">where we would
arrive, but all I could get was "I think." Anyway this ship makes the run in sixteen
days and will probably dock at Frisco.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b> After lunch
today I hitch hiked to the ship hoping to find some mail, but no soap. When I got back here I found that someone had
left me a couple of letters, one from you and one from Dave. It was probably Pete Leslie who brought them.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b> I'm too
excited to write. Last night, I took some pills for sleeping but it was past
2:00 AM before I finally dozed off. I
got up at 6:30 AM, left the camp at 8:00 AM, and got here at 9:00 AM. </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b> So you think
I've changed and that I'm cold? My, my are you in for an awakening.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b> I wrote in
last night's letter what I wanted you to have for me when I arrive, but just in
case the mail gets fouled up, I'll repeat.
See if I have a white cap cover and buy a pair of gold buttons for
the gold chin strap on the cap. I'll
have everything else I'll need--even rubbers though I'd rather not use them.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b> Oh heck
what's the use I can't think straight now, so I'll sign off. This is probably my last letter so sit tight
and do nothing till you hear from me.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Thursday, 29 November
1945, 3:00 PM</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Dearest Eleanor,</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b> Here it
is. I got my orders at NOB this
morning. They are dated December 1, but
I took them over to the receiving station anyway and they accepted them. I'm all packed and will check into the receiving
station BOQ bright and early tomorrow morning. I'm expecting to get passage on
a ship before the weekend is out. Am I
excited!</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b> I'll probably
be able to write you again before I leave the island. If possible I'll drop you a line when I'm
aboard ship and have an idea as to my arrival in the United States and
where. However they may give me the rush
act and this could be the last time you'd hear from me until I hit the states. In any case my orders read
"proceed" which means after I hit the United States, I have four days
plus travel time to report for demobilization.
I don't know how long it'll take to actually get my discharge, but it
shouldn't be over a day.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b> As for
clothing, I have enough to get home in.
I have all the insignia for my visor cap except for the pair of gold
buttons that hold the gold chin strap.
Buy an inexpensive pair for me.
Check to see that I have a white cap cover. I have black ties, socks, skivvies, and
suspenders, so except for the gold button and cap cover I'm all set.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b> Hope this
afternoon's mail brings me a letter from you.
It's been several days since your last one and I'd love to hear from you
once more before I shove off.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b> Toyoko and
Toshibo, the two native girls who've been sewing for me, are very unhappy to see
me leave. Even though she knew I would
be leaving, Toyoko even cried when she watched me pack. These people are very friendly. I guess the Ocelot officers have been very
nice to them so they do like us more than the regular officers based here. Leslie took some snaps of them and will send
me some prints eventually.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b> That's all
Sweetheart. If you are half as thrilled
and excited as I am, you'd better take some phenobarb when you go to bed
tonight.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b> I'll see you
in my dreams and soon in my arms.</b></span></div>

lower than usual so I had a few drinks too many. The only good thing about it all was that

another stiff shot again tonight. </b></span></div>
