At random: The first boat known to have been navigated under water was built in 1620 by a Dutchman, Cornelius Van Drebbel. Van Drebbel is said to have developed a chemical which would purify the air and allow the crew to stay submerged for extended periods.

HAYES, Murray Lawrence, passed away peacefully December 16, 2018, with family, in the home he loved. Murray was born in the family home in Fort Collins, Colorado, on July 17, 1929, to Murray E. and Margarite Honnold Hayes. With the help of a Naval ROTC scholarship, Murray graduated from the University of Colorado with a distributive major in Mathematics, Physics and Economics. During the week after graduation, he married a fellow Coloradoan, Frances Catherine Wasinger, on July 4, 1952. Murray began his naval career immediately as a commissioned officer on a destroyer doing Pacific Ocean service during the Korean was. Later, he trained and became a submariner for the remainder of his four years of active service. Not sure about future work or study, Murray attended Colorado A and M, and completed a Masters degree in Fisheries Management. This was followed by enrolling and receiving a PhD in Zoology from Colorado State University. The family moved to Alaska with him when he took a position as Biometrician with the US Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, part of the US Fish and Wildlife. Becoming head of the department, and then Regional Director of all Fisheries Research in Alaska, while living in Ketchikan and Kodiak, Murray taught mathematics at the Community Colleges, and was an active member of the school board in Ketchikan. Transferring to Seattle for a sabbatical year to do research as an Adjunct professor at the University of Washington, Murray later moved to the NW Fisheries Center in Seattle. He had received a large grant to coordinate energy related fisheries research, which led to a reassignment as Director of Resource Assessment in Conservation Engineering. During these years, the extension of jurisdiction for all countries from three miles to two hundred miles from their shores, brought with it the Fisheries Conservation and Management Act, leading to extensive reorganization of all NW Fisheries management. For treaty negotiations, Murray worked with other countries including Canada, Japan and Russia, travelling with delegations to these countries as scientific advisor. Particularly interesting were the working visits to Russia in the days of the cold war. In retirement, Murray brought his practice of meticulous record keeping to raising prizewinning chrysanthemums as a member of the Evergreen Chrysanthemum Society, and to the art of designing Bonsai, showing the results in Seattle and Sequim. 2018 was the first year he had not exhibited trees in the local Bonsai show. Another much enjoyed activity was membership in the national and state Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation. With other members, Murray travelled to many corners of Washington, Montana and Oregon, camping and exploring known campsites of Lewis and Clark on their western trail. Murray was preceded in death by his wife, Frances; his parents, Murray and Margarite; his sister, Lois; and brother, Richard. He is survived by long-time partner, Mary Jill Klay; his children, Murray (Sheila) Hayes, Carl Hayes, John (Penny) Hayes, Joseph (Bunny) Hayes, Susan Hayes, George Hayes; and his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. There will be no memorial services, but in the summer of 2019, his ashes will be scattered on the waters of his favorite bay in Alaska. Published in The Peninsula Daily News from Jan. 4, 2019
