A friend, neighbor, and distant relative of mine, the late Judge Bob Moon, had developed a keen interest in the show. Bob being the kind of judge that would do some alternative sentencing if he thought the convicted had a good chance of being saved, took an interest in the young man having legal problems back in Seattle. He was a crewman on Capt. Sig Hansen's Northwestern. Bob wrote him some letters, and finally a poem that hangs in the Northwestern's pilot house. It seems the crewman kind of "slipped" again, and wound up in prison.

Bob was a different kind of judge. He was a humanitarian, a poet, and a great bow hunter. Living so closely with the same last name we received many of each other's calls. I can tell you that he received calls at all hours from people trying to get their lives together. Bob was hoping to get out to meet everyone. Too bad that his life was cut short by a heart attack.
