Bob Dailey served in the United States Navy.  In 1965, he was inducted into the service at the age of 18 years old and served in the Amphibious Navy during his commission.  Beach and river landings were his appointment.  He was part of the original invasion of Viet Nam and served two tours of duty there.  

Bob was a 16-year volunteer with Fire and Ambulance Services in Washington.  He was a Coordinator with the Puget Sound Sea and Rescue Team.  He is a deep-sea diver and has worked with underwater drones.  He also volunteered on a Tracking Rescue Team in Washington state to rescue people lost in the woods.

When not organizing or participating in community events, Bob is an avid fisherman.  Tuna, salmon and bottom fish are his favorites and he loves to smoke his “catch”.  He looks forward to celebrating the Jubilee with friends, family and neighbors!
