The author of this book, Vaughn Davis Bornet, served in World War II for four years and four months—beginning in September, 1941. He was at the outset a Yeoman First Class in Naval Intelligence (Cable and Radio Censorship), was commissioned Ensign after a year, and attended Naval Training School (Indoctrination) for two months at Quonset Pt., R.I. Having served at Assistant Personnel Officer, Seventh Naval District and Gulf Sea Frontier, he later was made an assistant at Com Fair North Island, and then served out the war as Barracks Officer for Fleet Air Alameda, where he rose to full Lieutenant.
Remaining in the Naval Reserve, so that he served 23 years before final retirement (rising to full Commander, USNR), he did innumerable tours of two weeks duty, postwar, in such places as Treasure Island, Moffett Field, Alameda Oakland, Los Alamitos, El Toro, Pensacola, Great Lakes, Glenview, and the carrier Bennington. He took many courses, gave lecture series in various locales (with and without pay), and was generally active. His retirement was sooner than his son’s (32 years) and was precipitated by his move from the 11th to the 12th Naval District in 1963, where annual two weeks duty assignments ceased being routine.
Beth W. Bornet, his wife of over 65 years, spent some time employed by the Girl Scouts of America as a Leader-Trainer. Their daughter earned the Curved Bar in the Girl Scouts and their son rose to Eagle Scout (the elder Bornet only to Life Scout). Vaughn was an active Sigma Chi and for over four decades has been a Rotarian. He served 17 years on the U. S. Civil Rights Commission for the State of Oregon. He brought a varied background to his self assigned task of offering public orations and essays to his fellow citizens in Southern Oregon.visualizza meno
