I was only at Pt Allerton a short time, but have found memories of the summer of
1976 and all the good people I served with. Anyone remember helping patrol 'Old Iron Sides' during
the 1976 fireworks in Boston Harbor? Reading the name Boats Warren stirred memories for sure. Good
luck to all.

PT. ALLERTON 2008
This is an offical announcement for all Pt. Allerton alumni.
On Saturday August 2, 2008 there will be a reunion of all past Pt. Allerton alumni. Further
details will be forthcoming as time goes on. I realize this is a ways off but CWO4 Robert A.
Buotte and I are trying to get some idea of the turnout. So spread the word and e-mail me.

I am trying to locate Pappy Cameron. I was stationed with him At Point Allerton Lifeboat
Station in 1964. He stayed in the Coast Guard. I can't recall his first name. He came to Point
Allerton I believe from the USCGCutter Coos bay. He changed his rating from CS2 to BM2. He was a
cook on the Coos bay. He was from Iowa and I believe thats where he is located now. His wifes name
is Shirley and she was from Maine. Anyone have any info would appreciate it
On 08/13/07 John Newman
said:
Howdy to all now and former Allerton Coasties! This is Newman, if any of ya'll from 98 to
00 remember me! Always looking to see where some of the guys went. Give me a shout and tell me whats
going on. Hope everyone is doing good.

said:
I was at Pt. Allerton 76 - 78. Pt. Allerton brought out the best in all of us. Was it Mr.
Buotte's leadership or something in the air or the excellent food? Oh boy do I remember Boats
Warren! I see some familiar names here. John Halter who was my coxswain on the 40', 41' and 44' a
few times, Frank Libby my snipe colleague. Paul Christian, my friend and of course Elmer B. who,
among his other duties took the station lab to the vet. Who knows about or can remember when I was
spray painting something in the garage and got overspray on Mr. Buottes new car?
On 05/25/07 Elmer J. Borsos
said:
I am looking for BM1 Tony Warren. We served together at Pt. Allerton from 1976-1977.
John Halter and I were wondering what happened to him after he left Pt. Allerton.
On 04/19/07 Cathy Barone
said:
To Scott Beardsley: You were by far the worst cook in the Coast Guard. (Although you did
make the best Lobster I ever had!) And if anyone who knows you reads this, they will know you will
take it as a compliment!!! You were also the funniest cook! Definitely not The CO's favorite!
Hope your doing well!
On 04/17/07 Joe Veno
said:
Was stationed at PA from Jan 1968 to Oct. 1968. Looked over all the postings and did not
see anyone else who was there during those dates. Was only there a short time, but have a lot of
good memories about the Station. Would like to hear from anyone who was there during that time. I
was an EN3 and made EN2 while stationed there. Can't remember any names right now but if I hear some
they will come back to me. Drop me a line if you get a chance. Thanks.

said:
Hello old SAR Dogs, It's good to see your familar names and read your sea stories. I was
at PA fm 84-(to A school & back to PA, Thanks to Mr Scanlon) - 88. I retired off the CGC Seneca (MKC
of A gang). I still operate in the PA AOR and see Paul and Lisa Malone. It would be great to see all
the rest of you sometime. Mark Jenkins and I are still in contact, Chuck Murry, Gary Mann, Sean
Kelly, I understand that Bob Casey is not in good heath, Let's wish him the best and pray for his
health. That's all I have for now, Fair winds and following seas.

said:
Morning shipmates. Just want to see if there is anyone else out there I toured with there
from 94-96. If so, drop me a line and let me know how life is treating you. I miss the days of
playing roller hockey after lunch. See you all around the camp fire.....

On 10/09/06 Joe Veno
said:
Saw the pictures of the station, quite a difference from when i was stationed there after
returning from Vietmnam in 1968. I was stationed at the old house cant tell you what street it was
on, our boat house was on shore with rails that led into the water. The bell in the picture looks
familiar is that the one that was at the old Point Allerton Station?
On07/22/06 Mike Scanlon CWO4 (ret)
said:
I was CO in the mid 80's and remember the Dodds well. Verdi along with Frank Shinney and
others manned the comm center every single weekend of the year. Gert was always there. The Malones
spent hours as boat crew on station boats, many others spent scores of hours on SAR patrol,
sometimes spending half the night searching and assisting boaters. The Coast Guard Auxiliarist at PA
were some of the most dedicated people that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and working
with. I hope that the new Auxiliarist can measure up to Verdi, Gert, Frank, Paul, Lisa and all of
the others who's names are starting to fade from my old brain.
On07/19/06 CWO Jim McDevitt
said:
So very sorry to hear of Gert Dodd's passing over the bar. May she rest in peace. My
sincere condolences to Verdi and Paul Dodd.
On07/17/06 BM2 Bill Collins
said:
For anyone who was stationed at Sta PT Allerton in the 70's and 80's, Aux. Verdi (Poppa)
Dodds' wife Gert (Momma) Dodds Passed the Bar Saturday Night. When and if I can get more info I will
post it to the Pt Allerton reunion hall. Verdi and Gert, where well know around the station and
known to most as Moma and Poppa Dodds, auxiliarist who took care of those so far away and not
so far away from home.

said:
I was stationed at Port Allerton from 1964 to 1967. Are there any guys from that time
frame that are interested in getting together for a reunion. If so, I am interested in attending
and will do anything to help get a reunion organized
On06/05/06 RC Bellotti
said:
I just learned today that BMC Arthur ( Bud ) Larsen, former officer in Charge of Point
Allerton passed on 3 Jun 06. Bud retired from the Coast guard in 1966, He was a true friend and a
fine man. He will be thought of often. He still resided in Hull, Mass. I served with the Chief
from 1962 to 1964 I considered him and his family very good friends.
On12/16/05 Victoria Stevens
said:
I am the educator at the Hull Lifesaving Museum. This year we are hosting Sea Dogs!
Great Tails of the Sea, a traveling exhibit that includes stories of Sinbad and many other Coast
Guard dogs. We would love to add some more information about dogs here at Point Allerton. Does
anyone remember Roger the dog? Or have another favorite story about a station mascot? Would love
to hear from you if you do.

On03/31/05 Matthew Coombs
said:
Mr Buotte, You probably don't remember me I was a MK-2 at the Point from 1978-1981 when
you conducted Group Inspections. It was people like you and other former Point Allerton CO's like
Mr Gadow and too many other great men that convinced me that the Coast Guard was the place to be. I
retired 3 years ago as a CWO4 Eng having served 26 years. I loved every minute but Point Allerton
was the the Best. I learned pride dedication and skill could overcome anything. I had the pleasure
of serving with some very fine men and women there and will never forget a single minute of it.

said:
CWO4Bob@aol.com CO of Pt. Allerton Station 1974 - 1977. Of the number of Commands in the
U.S. Coast Guard, Point Allerton Station was without a doubt the finast tour of duty in my 34 years
of Coast Guard Active duty. The crews were the greatest group of people any CO would be proud to
have , my hats off to each and everyone of you. I retired at P.A. June 1984, Group Boston Ops
Officer, and now live in Florida, May God Bless you all. I thank you all for giving me the
opportunity to serve with you.

I WAS STATIONED AT PT. ALLERTON FROM 1975-1977. I AM TRYING TO GET A REUNION OF PAST PT.
ALLERTON PEOPLE. THE CURRENT XO CHIEF BODENRADER (JBoden5636) HAS EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN GETTING
A REUNION GOING. THE CURRENT CO AND HIMSELF ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING A WEB SITE. IT WOULD
BE GREAT TO SEE PAST PEOPLE WHO SERVED AT PT. ALLERTON AT A REUNION. MY FORMER CO ROBERT A.
BUOTTE AND HIS BROTHER DON -ANOTHER FORMER CO- WOULD COME. I AM IN CONTACT WITH SOME OTHERS I
SERVED WITH DURING MY TOUR OF DUTY WHO WOULD COME. MANY HAVE SERVED AT PT. ALLERTON OVER THE
YEARS. THE STATION HAS SUCH A RICH HISTORY. IT WOULD BE SO GREAT IF A REUNION WOULD COME TO PASS.
HOPE THIS GETS THE BALL MOVING.

I was a BM3 at Point Allerton Station from 1985 to 1987, under Mr Scanlon. It was to say
the least, probably the most enjoyable two years of my life. Please say hello if you recognize my
name, or were stationed with me !

said:
I’m looking to interview Coasties who were involved with several rescues that took place
during a surprise storm off the New England Coast in November of 1980. Several Coast Guard boats
and stations were involved and the cutter that had the most rescues was the Active. There were
several fatalities that day: the F/V Fairwind pitchpoled and only one crewman was rescued at Georges
Bank, the F/V Sea Fever lost a crew member when the pilot house windows were smashed, the F/V
Determined sank, and many more. If you know anyone that was stationed in New England during that
time, including at Cape Cod Air Station please forward this note. I am the author of several books
and working on one about this freak storm. (The National Weather service was sued because if failed
to tell the F/V that the Georges Bank weather buoy was malfunctioning.) Thank you, Michael Tougias

said:
To be stationed at Pt Allerton was a privilege under the command of CWO R.A. Buotte. I
was stationed there fron Oct 75 to Jan 78. I was a boat engineer. My first boat was the 40533 with
Al Raymond with various seamen. In fact we spent most of the winter at the boat house at Pemberton
Point re firbishing the 40533 so it would look the best come spring along with Tim Sugrue of the
starbord watch. My best time was during the Operation Sail 1976 when we pulled the duty of crowd,
actually boat, control in Boston Harbor when the Tall Ships came in to Boston. Those were fun
days.

There are pivotal places in every career, and Point Allerton was one for me. George
Bassett saved my career in 1981 - I'm not sure of where I'd be today if he had chosen differently -
but I'm certain that I wouldn't still be in uniform! I spent a memorable two years at PA with the
likes of Frank Reed, Matt Coombs, Kelly K, Kevin Blount and Dave Waldrip. Of course I can't forget
my brother BM1 - Steve Kynaston (or his lovely bride). Sure were some crazy times -and crazy cases
- I'll never forget the sailboat aground on Great Brewster Spit or the evening the auxiliary boat
led a deep draft gulf coast shrimper up the small boat channel into Boston (at low water)! Then
there were the Sunday afternoons at Uncle Sam's and Tuesday nights at the Vets Club with MKC 'Moose'
Heniez. I think of my time at PA often- and thank God (and George Bassett) that I survived it!

said:
After finding this site and looking at the names of people I was stationed with, it
brought back alot of memories. As the result of this it inspired me to try and find some of my old
friends. It saddened me to learn that Gus Solzak, who was stationed here in 62-64 had passed on in
the early ninties. I figured anyone who was staioned here then would want to know.

Hello shipmates, That has always had a special meaning at the Point. We achieved a level
of brotherhood and teamwork like no other station. It is the inspiration of the place and a huge
list of great people that have served and trained and educated each other under the watchfull gaze
of Joshua James. I served at the point from 78-81. Rode with Frank Reed, Carl Small wow thats a
blast from the past, Brad Lenard, David Waldrip and so many others. Johnny Taylor, Irv Gaddow,
George Basset. Two of the best Warrant Bosn's I ever met. Besides Dave. Cheers Shipmates...

I was stationed at Point Allerton from 5/64 - 8/64. It was much harder than being on a
ship.Liberty was 5 & 2. Those five days on were long, as you had to stand radio watch, as well as
work all day. I had been on the Eastwind & always thought I wanted lifewboat station duty, TILL I
GOT THERE. I couldn't wait to get back to sea duty. When a slot on the soon to be commissioned
Vigilant opened up, I grabbed it. I spent the rest of my 4 years on the Vigilant. I have nothing but
admiration for the hard working shipmates who man these lifeboat stations.

Was reading the comments of all my old shipmates here in the reunion hall and it brings
back lots of memories of working as a reservest form 1983-86 and 88-94. lots of happy times, with
the soft ball games, and boat crew comps, as well as all the trips and SAR that we did. Who could
forget 'Buzzer' Jack Daley, Al Toren, Gerry Greer, Gerry Demodna, and the rest of the Coxswains, who
took the time to train all of us. these are great memories to bring back as I contemplate my
retirement form the Guard. I would love to here form any and all from PA past and presnt.

Hi to everyone! I was stationed at the old station from 12/63 to 6/64 right out of boot
after a week of TAD in Boston. Great duty! Was temporarily transfered to the Boston Lightship WLV539
when a FN went up the stick in a storm. In fact I was boat crew on the run that took him off.
'Temporary' turned into 4 weeks before any comp leave and when I came back I stayed till 11/66.
Great duty also!I did a lot of growing up at the Point with guys like 'Lippy' Shultz EN1, 'Uncle
Rogg' Belotti EN2, Bruce Dedham BM3, Jimmy Trolio SA who turned cook and joined me on the Boston,
Chief Larsen, John Butler BM1, Jamison BM1, 'Pappy' BM2, 'Dracular' Jenkins BM2, John Kopke EN2, and
a whole bunch of guys whose faces I can still see but can't remember their names. No offense guys!
Took a nostalgia trip back there about 4 years ago and found the old building turned into a museum.
Very interesting! I signed up on their mailing list after hearing there had been a reunion but never
heard from anyone. Have since moved to North Kingstown, R.I. and am interested in hearing from
anyone who might have known me. Bob Coleman EN3 'Brick'

I was stationed at PA from 79-83 and loved every minute of it. Had great times with Kevin
Blount, Phil Paulhus, Matt Combs, Eric Engelbrecht, Pete Boardman, Ken Stuber, Bruce Schneider and
many others. The best USCG Aux and Reserve units in country were there also with Paul & Lisa
Milone and of course Jack Daley and Chappy. Served under two great CO's George Bassett and Irv
Gadow. No doubt that I am still in today because of the times I had in PA. I said I would never
leave the area and continued my service on Pendant, Group Boston, Active, Sta Menemsha, Ant Boston
and then well they sent me to the Firebush out of Kodiak which is a great job with incredible
scenery. Hope to return some day back to the point and relive those memories again.
