Wendall's Story
Life
I left Rutland shortly after graduation for a career in the Coast Guard. It was a fun 28-years working all over the U.S.: New York, Long Beach, Honolulu, Washington DC, Seattle, and lastly Juneau, with lots of ships and port calls along the way.
I married Liz in 1979. We are blessed with 4 sons, and 9 grandchildren (so far) - most living somewhere in Alaska.
I retired from active duty in 2005, spent a couple of volunteer years in the CG auxiliary, then started a second (civ...Expand for more
ilian) career with the Coast Guard in 2008. That last role kept me connected with the active duty folks, plus I still got to play a role in major responses involving port infrastructure (Haiti Earthquake recovery, Deepwater Horizon spill, KULLUK arctic drill barge grounding, etc.). Update: Retired 31 Dec 2022 after 44 years combined active duty, auxiliary, and civilian Coast Guard service.
I don't get back to Vermont often, but hope to attend the 50-year class reunion, God willing.
