My favorite callsigns were those of animals that truly reflected the
personality or appearance of the individual: "Turtle." "Snail," "Rabbit."

.. . . or "Dawg", one of my 1973 cruisemates aboard the CORAL MARU. A
homelier-looking fellow I've never seen.

"I've had a lot of calls asking if my dog Ernest was running for Governor.
I explained to each caller that Ernest died several years ago, to which the
usual response has been, 'So what?' Come to think of it, would a dead dog
running for Governor make California look any more weird than it already
does?"
