摘要

Both of his parents were experienced telegraph operators; his father, Leon, worked at the local weather bureau office as a meteorologist. In those days they communicated to other offices by telegraph so he was fluent with Morse and International codes. rnHis mother was born on her father's sailing vessel in the China Sea and spent her early years in the Orient, being educated there. At the age of 12 she made her home at the family residence in Searspbrt, Maine, finishing her high school course there. She then moved to Port Angeles, Washington, and was employed by Western Union as a telegraph operator. His parents were married in May 1907 and they moved to Port Crescent, Washington. His mother was employed in the local telegraph office there and at Port Angeles again on her return in 1915.
