A Ship With No Name
Richard Hersey began his navy career as an apprentice seaman and retired as Commander. He served on the USS Mizar and ATR-3 during World War II and the USS Okanagan during the Korean War. He attended Boston University, University of California, Berkeley, and Golden Gate College majoring in accounting. He worked as an auditor when not on active duty. He worked for the Atomic Energy Commission, Federal Communication Commission, and the Department of Housing. He retired from government work after becoming Chief of Finance and Mortgage Credit, HUD, in the San Francisco area office. He’s still married to the bride he met in New York City after the ship-with-no-name sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1945.
