One thought on “Galley

  1. My father, Hollie H. Elliott, LtCmdr at the time. I think I was8yrs old. That would be 1959 or 60. He was an Naval Aviator and remember hearing Willy Victor spoken many times. He was the acting Safety Officer of the day or month and leaned on a doorknob in the hanger, while pointing at an exposed electrical board. Telling the sailor that was taking notes, ” Look at this. This needs to be caged”. Right then, it arched to his pointed finger and pulled him in. He was being electrocuted. God bless the sailor Singleton, that knew better than to grab him, wrapped his belt around my dad’s ankle and perked him out of contact. The belt buckle burned through his ankle bone close to the marrow. Singleton proceeded to beat my dad in the chest to get his heart going. Dad was dead. He broke four ribs but he jump started my dad’s heart again. When we went to see him in the hospital, he was laying the in his boxers underwear with both hands wrapped bigger than boxing gloves with bullies and weights to keep them elevated. He was ask Grey and with those baby blue eyes, he said,”Hi Bug”. He called me that when I was little bc of my big eyes and always stuck my tounge out. I grew up that day. Saw what death could look like
    He went on to a 31 yr Naval career and sadly passed in 2004 at 81yrs. I miss him and mom daily. Please post this as I don’t know how. Thank you for all the memories, Kate(Kathy) Elliott
