  My father, age 41, and two other men when fishing to the Farralon Islands in the Pacific Ocean, about 26 miles out from San Francisco in Feb. 1963. They never returned and were never found, probably carried away by the currents. I was 17 at the time, and my brother and sisters were ages 16, 14, 12, 9, 7 and 4. My mom was 38. There was no life insurance or savings, so we made do and carried on.
