Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
A friend, Earl "Wally" Wallace passed away this morning. Wally was the first Commanding Officer of Station Ponce Inlet. Wally was 93, and would have celebrated his 94th birthday on 29 June 2010.
I will post more about Wally and his career in the Coast Guard later.
He'll be missed.
