Hello,
There's a request on your website: if anyone has any information about David Kenneth Pope, to email Muggs Hunt.  
Unfortunately email to muggshunt@aol.com did not go through, so I've appended my reply below.

Dear Mr. Hunt,
I came across the website where you asked about my father, David Kenneth Pope.  He stayed in the USN and retired in the 70's in Stockton, California after serving his final tour of duty at Rough and Ready Island.  After retirement he attended college at the University of Pacific, obtaining his bachelor's degree in 1978 -- coincidentally the same year the I, his youngest child, obtained my degree.  He passed away in 1985, at the age of 73.
 I hope this email reaches you.  Feel free to write back.
Please take care.
Steve Pope
