Obituary: Robert B. Pope Sr, 92, passed away 12, 2016 in Arlington, TX. He was born 23, 1924 in Mossy Rock, Washington to Dallas and Gladys Pope. Robert Pope had a very adventurous and historic life. He was born in Mossyrock, WA, not far from Riffe City, which was named after his great-grandfather, Floyd Riffe. That city was bought out by the Tacoma power and Light Co. in the 1960's to make way for the tallest hydroelectric dam in WA. state. It was called the Mossyrock dam and behind it was Riffe Lake named after Robert's great-grandfather. When Robert was three years old, his mother, Gladys remarried and several years later his family moved to Manila, Philippines. His family owned a sawmill factory just outside of Manila. When the Japanese started invading the surrounding countries, Robert's parents sent him home to WA to live with his aunt and told him they would catch up with him later. Unfortunately, his parents waited to long and were captured by the Japanese army. Having knowledge of this, he joined the navy as soon as he turned seventeen. intense training, he was assigned to the U.S.S. Oconto APA-187. This was a auxiliary personnel assault ship. It carried troops and their equipment to the theatre of operations. Robert was a pilot on the landing craft that disembarked troops onto enemy beaches. He made landings at, Guadalcanal, lingayen Gulf, Okinawa, Saipan and many others. On 8th, 1945, five days after the Japanese had surrendered, Robert's ship sailed into Tokyo Bay and was one of the first ships to unload troops and equipment for the occupation of Japan. Meanwhile, before the Japanese surrendered, Robert's parents, Gladys and Albert Waterstradt, were interned at the Los Banos prison camp. He later learned that General Douglas MacArthur had ordered his troops to go behind enemy lines to rescue the internees. He soon learned from his step father that Gladys didn't make it. She had the unfortunate distinction of being the first women to die at Los Banos in 1944. She died of disease and starvation. When the U.S. army occupied the Philippines, they relocated her remains at the American in Manila. She was given full military honors. the war, the navy transferred Robert to Minneapolis, Minnesota to spend time with his step father. One night, he and his friends decided to go bowling. While there, they met some girls. One of them was named Lucille. hit it off very well and started dating. One day, Robert received orders to return back to California. Robert and Lucille decided they could not be apart and he asked her to marry him. She traveled to San Pedro, Ca where they were married on 23, 1946. Robert and Lucille settled in at the naval base in San Diego, Ca. While there, the navy assigned Robert to go on a "Journey of a life time". To participate in the exploration of Antarctica. The ship he was assigned to was the newly built U.S.S. Burton Island. This was a wind class ice breaker. The expedition was called, Operation Highjump. The Burton Island was one of the first ice breakers introduced to Antarctica. The ship would bring several new technologies with it to explore. Two of them were radar and a helicopter. On 17, 1947, Robert Pope and his crew sailed into history. The Burton Island was on its way to McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. would be the first Americans to land there. On 16, 1947 they landed the first helicopter onto Antarctica at Hut Point. Three hours later they sailed to Cape Evans. This is where a cabin built by British explorer Sir Robert Falcon Scott in 1911 was used to beat Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen to the South Pole. When Scott reached the South Pole in of 1912, he and his team were shocked to see the Norwegian flag and a note planted there. lost the race by three weeks. On the way back Scott's team was caught in a blizzard and all of them perished. When the B.I. reached Cape Evans, Robert Pope was assigned to lead a task force of 15 men to explore the cabin that had been abandoned for 35 years. were the first Americans to set foot at Cape Evans. Once they landed, they walked thru the ice and snow and were astonished at what they found when they reached the cabin. The National Geographic Magazine wrote a 90 page article about this expedition in it's , 1947 edition. In 1948, MGM made a documentary about Robert's expedition called, "The Secret Land". It won an Academy Award for best documentary. Robert Pope returned to Antarctica a year later to map, explore and helped to establish the McMurdo Research Station which is now the largest city in Antarctica. Robert made trips to the Arctic in 1947 and 1952, as well. In 2014, Washington state discovered that he was the first Washington native to set foot onto Antarctica. There is a movement in Lewis Co., WA to name Highway 12 the " Robert B. Pope Sr. Memorial Hywy". Highway 12 is listed as one of the most scenic highway's in America. The Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation of WA felt the name would be appropriate since highway 12 runs thru Robert's hometown of Mossyrock and passes by Riffe lake which was named after his great-grandfather and into the elevations of Mt. Rainier, which resembles Antarctica. One day, when the B.I. was docked in San Pedro, Ca., Robert was asked to go immediately to the executive officers quarters. When he walked in, the executive officer asked him to sit down and then handed him a white envelope that was assigned to him and was stamped "secret". Robert opened it up. It was a letter stamped "secret" stating he had been chosen for a special assignment in the field of atomic energy. continued... |
