MKC Ray Standley

I only learned today, that Chief Standley passed away, in April. In the late 50s, early 60s Ray and I served together aboard CG-50048, Everett, WA. I didn't know Ray, so I asked some one who did 'What is this guy like?'. The answer was, 'Give him a stick and a piece of wire, and he will make something out of it...AND it will work'. That pretty much tell the story of Ray Standley. I can not count the time that he fabricated something out of nothing, to enable us to do our job. One hell of a snipe, a funny guy and a great shipmate.

Don Kent

Don Kent The dean of broadcast weather forecasting in Boston and New England, died early March 2, a little past midnight, in Franklin Regional Hospital in Franklin, N.H., a few miles from his home in nearby Sanbornton. He was 92 and his health had failed since a bout with pneumonia at Christmas. Beginning in 1937, Mr. Kent delivered weather forecasts on radio and TV stations in and around Boston and on Cape Cod until seven years ago. He got his start even earlier, though, when he persuaded his third-grade teacher in Wollaston to let him scrawl his weather predictions on the blackboard in the mid-1920s. During World War II, the military needed weather observers and Don found himself serving in the Coast Guard. Occasionally he would fly in Martin Patrol Bombers off the New England coast and send back reports on wind direction, clouds, precipitation-anything that could help merchant marine vessels on their way to the European theater. In December 1944 he made an accurate forcast of 'icing' that prompted the Coast Guard to turn down a Navy patrol assignment. The Navy patrol went out anyway with disastrous results-the crew and aircraft were lost-proving Kent's forecast right. He received a direct commission in the Coast Guard, and at the time was the only commissioned Coast Guard Weather Officer. When Mr. Kent began working in television, his studio tools for delivering the weather forecast hearkened to third grade: a map, chalkboards, and his own folksy voice. In 1951, Mr. Kent moved to WBZ radio, and while keeping his voice on that station, also became the weatherman on WBZ TV a few years later. He retired from Channel 4 in 1983, and from WBZ radio in 1985, but not from the business. Mr. Kent worked at WHDH radio for a while, then worked for several radio stations, most recently at WQRC in Hyannis, where he contributed forecasts until about 2003. Of all the weather events he covered, two stood out. One was the Hurricane of 1938. 'There were other storms that were bad, but the '78 blizzard was the worst,' he said. 'And I said we were going to measure it in feet, not inches.' 'I had the best job in the world, yes that's right, and I had the best luck. I was at the right place at the right time. Only a weatherman can be wrong so much and still get paid.' Fair winds and following seas Don! Even though the Coast Guard no longer has Weather Patrol Cutters on station we will continue to keep a weather eye out in your memory! see links for sources to above narrative: >>>http://wbztv.com/local/don.kent.dies.2.1530516.html>>http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2010/03/don_kent_wbz-tv.html#end>>http://static.cbslocal.com/station/wbz/wbz/2010/march/donkent.pdf<<<
