Chuck was a Chief Motor Machinist aboard the 791, and remained in the service after the war. He lives In Atlantic City, New Jersey.
I am still racing sailboats and have been replacing the stern and putting in a new deck. Also, the weekly races just started, and I am still working on the boat. The main goal is preparing the boat for the Regatta at Brigantine, New Jersey, which is on the outskirts of Atlantic City. These boats are called the Moth Class; I’ve been sailing them since I was 10 years old. I feel like this will be my last year. You know age creeps up on you after awhile. I’m not fast and sharp as the younger groups, but it’s fun getting in their way.
I retired as a Chief Warrant Officer, and enjoyed every minute of it. I was aboard Sub Chasers, Cutters, and Troop Transports, as well as the LST 791. I have been retired for 22 years and love it. I enjoy fishing from the surf, have a beach buggy, and like to spend time at Cape Hatteras.
