- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 15 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Author of the book, The Honorable Way: Life Lessons Aboard a Destroyer in the Western Pacific, 1963. A young naval officer’s coming-of-age story as he crosses the South Pacific aboard a destroyer in 1963. 

After graduating from Princeton University and Naval OCS, Bud found himself aboard the USS Chevalier (DD 805) in 1963 as it powered its way across the Pacific toward the Gulf of Tonkin. Along the journey, he contemplates major events of WWII, writes poetry about his experience, and journals about the people and places he encounters. In this memoir, based on old journals and logbooks, Bud shares his trenchant and often humorous descriptions of life on the high seas and in port. “We had the experience but missed the meaning,” he writes. Ultimately, this is his attempt to glean insight from those long-ago days.
