He was shipmate for the former Holland America lines.He plied the very stormy waters of the North Atlantic for 3 years, and experienced the angriest and the gentlest moods of those waters. He also sail-boated the waters off South America, the Caribbean and off the west coast of North America.He became a US citizen in 1966. He has two sons. He was divorced after 16 years of marriage. His present marriage of 43 years is a great success, so he does not feel too much depreciated.
