Dr. Richard Hickok, the Calvert’s dentist in 1962, provided a copy of his personal film footage of the crew’s time at sea and at liberty in Hawaii, Japan and Hong Kong during the 1962 WestPac cruise. Note: There is no sound or narration to this video.
Enjoyed seeing the 1962 footage. That was the second trip to WES-PAC aboard the Calvert for me. While in Kobe, Japan on shore patrol duty I had my jaw broken and Calvert’s dentist wired it shut for 6 weeks. He said that was his first such action since “school” but he did an excellent job – thanks.
Richard.
I think I was on shore patrol that day, if the man who broke your jaw was a boxer who was training for the Pan Am Games and was either drunk or on something. I remember looking for your tooth because we
thought he just knocked it out. Glad your still with us.
