-------------------
Philip John Rasch, was born Dec. 3, 1909, in Grand Rapids, Mich., served in the U. S. Navy on a submarine
chaser in the Pacific during World War II. After the war, he helped train Marines in Virginia and North Carolina. One of the projects he worked on was
helping service members acclimate themselves to the heat and humidity of Vietnam. Rasch retired from the Navy in 1969 as a lieutenant commander. He was always active and involved in sports
even after he retired. "He was mostly muscle and was small himself and couldn't get into team sports when he was young, so he just threw himself into weight-lifting, wrestling and fencing."
Rasch sailed and took up horseback riding. "He was just so active and he loved the outdoors."
He was a local horse club member and the author of books on sports medicine kinesiology, weight training
and wrestling. He also published many articles as an historian of early Southwest lawmen and outlaws.
At the age of 65, he went back to college to study archeology and participated in amateur archeological digs
in England.
