My father, Earle Reynolds, including the human interest bits Wikipedia cut out

Dr. Earle L. Reynolds (October 18, 1910 - January 11, 1998), born into a circus family, became a trapeze artist, physical anthropologist, educator, author, boat designer, sailor, Quaker, peace activist and convicted felon. In 1951 the Atomic Energy Commission sent Dr. Reynolds to Hiroshima to study the effects of the first atomic bomb on the growth and development of exposed children. His professional discoveries concerning the dangers of radiation later moved Reynolds into a life of anti-nuclear activism. In 1958 he sailed with his wife Barbara, two of his three children and a Japanese yachtsman in a ketch he had designed himself into the American nuclear testing zone in the Pacific. In 1961 the family sailed to the USSR to protest Soviet nuclear testing. During the Vietnam War Reynolds and his second wife Akie sailed the Phoenix to Haiphong to deliver humanitarian and medical aid to victims of American bombing.

EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION Earle Landry Reynolds, an only child, was born Earl Frederick Schoene to William and Maude Schoene as the circus of which they were a part passed through Des Moines, Iowa. Earle's father and uncle Frederick performed as The Landry Brothers, trapeze artists and tightrope walkers for the John T. Wortham Shows^[1](also known as John T. Wortham Carnival^[2]). Billboard^[3]noted, "The Landry Brothers work a neat and classy rope acrobatic turn for six minutes, in full stage, which brought the brawny lads one legit." ^[4]. Before WWI made German names unpopular, according to Reynolds, the pair were billed as Schoene Brothers Aerial Artists. Depending on the season and the family's financial status, their circus acts alternated with vaudeville, possibly the Fred Karno Company (Karno Pantomime Troupe/Circus).

When Earl was eight, Maude told him his father had been killed falling off a trapeze. She married circus electrician Louis Haviland Reynolds on the condition that he leave the circus (she had broken her back falling from a trapeze) and they settled in Mississippi. Earl took his stepfather's surname, added an "e" to his first name, earned the rank of Eagle Scout and graduated from Vicksburg High School in 1927. He went on to earn his BA and MA from the University of Chicago and his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin, all in Anthropology. "It was either anthropology or gem-cutting and the anthropology teacher was more interesting," he told his daughter. He married Barbara Leonard^[5]in 1936 and they had three children: Tim (1936), Ted (1938), and Jessica (1944). From 1943 to 1951 Reynolds was Associate Professor of Anthropology at Antioch College and Chairman of the Physical Growth Department at the Fels Research Institute for the Study of Human Development, also at Antioch College ^[6] During this time he wrote plays: Solitude, No Pace for a Lady, Americana, Bite the Dust and I Weep for You, and directed them at the Little Theatre in Yellow Springs, Ohio. His plays met with local success, and even attracted attention from Broadway producer, Jose Ferrer^[7] He also won a tri-state tennis championship in (year?)

RESEARCH In 1951 Earle joined the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (ABCC), ^[8] established under the direction of the National Research Council's Division of Medical Sciences in March 1947. He was sent to Hiroshima to research the effects of radiation from the first atomic bomb on the growth of Japanese children. Dr. Reynolds and his family, their "Woody" station wagon and dog Cappy took the President Wilson to Tokyo and drove south to Hiroshima. They spent three years (1951-54)in Nijimura, an American (and for the first year) Australian occupation base near Kure, Japan while Earle completed the first of a series of longitudinal studies meant to be resumed after a one-year sabbatical. He wrote up his findings as a 4-inch-thick volume, "Report on a Three-Year Study, 1951-2-3, of the Growth and Development of Hiroshima Children Exposed to the Atomic Bomb, 1954." In summary he had found children exposed to radiation to be smaller than their counterparts with lowered resistance to disease and a greater susceptibility to cancer, especially leukemia. Because strontium-90 (produced by the atomic bomb) seeks the same areas of the bodies of growing children as calcium, such as the thyroid gland, children exposed to the bomb were also subject to thyroid cancer.

Despite the fact that he had never sailed in anything larger than a 18-foot boat, Earle took advantage of his free time in Hiroshima to design a 50-foot yacht, the Phoenix, ^[9] and supervise its building at nearby Miyajima-guchi. Having sold the Woody as a hearse and traded Cappy in for a cat, Earle, Barbara, son Ted,16, daughter Jessica, 10, three young Japanese men from Hiroshima, Niichi ("Nick") Mikami, Motosada ("Moto") Fushima and Mitsugi ("Mickey") Suemitsu, moved aboard. Earle's elder son Tim, 18, opted to enter return to the States and enter Antioch and then Tufts University. ^[10]

From 1954-1958 Earle was able to fulfill his lifelong dream of sailing around the world, inspired by Joshua Slocum's autobiography. ^[11]. During this trip he acquired the nickname "Skipper." The first leg of the voyage, from Japan to Hawaii, took 48 days (with an 18-hp kerosene engine, stove and lamps; electricity wasn't installed until Honolulu). ^[12] Ted, using measurements from a hand-held sextant, navigated the 30-ton yacht to Honolulu in 1954 and again, after circling the globe, in 1958. ^{[13] [14] [15]}

As they traveled to major cities, Dr. Reynolds visited public libraries to stay abreast of new scholarship on the effects of radiation. He checked for references to his own report and found no mention of it, either in ABCC publications or in any other. One doctor told him he had had difficulty finding a copy of the report and a former ABCC secretary told him in Washington in 1957, "that report of yours was put in a closet." But at that point he had no way to verify the information.

In Honolulu for the second time, what had been a pleasure cruise took a serious turn. Across the dock from the Phoenix was a 30-foot ketch, the Golden Rule. ^{[16] [17]} Its crew, four Quaker pacifists, Albert Bigelow, ^[18], George Willoughby, Bill Huntington and Orion Sherwood were attempting to sail to the Marshall Islands to protest the United States' testing of 35 nuclear devices there. ^[19] An injunction against American citizens entering the test zone was passed after the Golden Rule left port and it was brought back by the Coast Guard. Impressed by the reasoning and character of these men, Earle and Barbara joined the Society of Friends (Quakers) and considered taking over their protest in the Phoenix.

Dr. Reynolds was at that time one of the world's experts on the effects of radiation. In determining whether to deliberately enter the test zone, he considered a number of factors, such as the effects the radiation from the series of nuclear tests would have on the world environment, specifically increasing incidents of cancer, and the effects of this additional radiation on the Hiroshima and Nagasaki population, since both wind and ocean currents from the test site would carry radiation that direction. He considered unconstitutional the United States government's injunction declaring 390,000 square miles of ocean off-limits to American personnel during the series. Also, the forbidden zone blanketed any route by which the Reynolds family could conveniently sail back to Japan, as they had hoped to do as soon as possible to complete the circumnavigation. In addition, as the Marshall Islands were a Trust Territory of the U.S., Reynolds objected to the forced removal of Marshallese from their home islands for the purpose of detonating weapons which would almost certainly render their islands uninhabitable for years to come.

PROTESTS Earle, Barbara, Ted (20), Jessica (14) and Mikami cleared "for the high seas" on June 11, 1958. The family had not decided whether or not to enter the forbidden zone but Mikami, whose mother and brother had been in the bombing, never wrestled with the question. For days after the A-bomb was dropped, his mother had crawled through the radioactive rubble, searching for her brother-in-law. She never found his body. By July 1, at the edge of the invisible perimeter of the zone, everyone came to a consensus. Earle announced by radiotelephone, on the international frequency for ships at sea, "The United States yacht Phoenix is sailing today into the nuclear test zone as a protest against nuclear testing. . ."

The next morning, 65 miles inside the forbidden zone, the Phoenix was intercepted and stopped by the American Coast Guard cutter Planetree.^[20] Two armed Coast Guard officers jumped aboard and put Earle (only) under arrest. Reynolds pointed out that Mikami was a Japanese citizen and was not subject to the injunction. The officers did not discuss Mikami's rights or any possible abridgement thereof. Reynolds was ordered to sail the Phoenix to Kwajalein with Navy cruiser Collett as escort.

On the way there, at 0430 in the darkness of July 3rd, Barbara and Ted were startled by a brilliant light which briefly lit the entire sky. Ted described it as "like a gigantic flash bulb, oval in shape and at about five to fifteen degrees above the horizon." A Japanese newscast later confirmed the explosion of an American nuclear device in the Hardtack series.

From Kwajalein, Earle, Barbara and Jessica were flown by MATS plane back to Honolulu for trial. Barbara later flew back to Kwajalein to help Ted and Nick sail the Phoenix back to Honolulu. That trip took 60 days and Judge J. Frank McLaughlin refused to extend the trial either for the arrival of Earle's boat, which held all the research and documentation for their decision to enter the zone or for the arrival of the rest of his crew as witnesses. Nor would he delay the trial one month until the lawyer Earle had retained could be present. The judge would not admit any testimony concerning Dr. Reynolds' motives for violating the injunction. Because he was an American citizen and had entered an area off-limits to Americans, a jury convicted Reynolds. ^[21][22]

The appeal took two years. During this time Dr. Reynolds was free to travel, lecture and write but he lost his title and his standing in the academic community. ABCC had already decided not to reactivate the research he had been involved in due to a change in research emphasis.

When the decision of the lower court was overturned, a small announcement atypical of the publication appeared in The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Feb. 1961.^[23] It read, "The conviction of Dr. Earle Reynolds, who sailed into the US nuclear test area of the South Pacific as a protest during the 1958 tests, was reversed December 29 by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. The court held that Reynolds was wrongly convicted of a felony because he had committed no more than a trespass, a misdemeanor"(NYT, 12/30)

With the court case closed, Dr. Reynolds flew to Japan on business, part of which involved a visit to ABCC, his former employer in Hiroshima. He took with him a copy of his book-length findings from his three years of research on the effects of radiation on Hiroshima children. He found the new director unfamiliar with the report and was stunned when statistician Dr. Beebe said casually, "Oh, yes, that's the report that was suppressed, isn't it?" Dr. Maki, Japanese co-director of ABCC since soon after its creation, confirmed the fact.

Dr. Reynolds was concerned that the scientific results of his study might have been delayed for political reasons, due to a possible conflict of interest--the Atomic Energy Commission funding ABCC had the two-pronged responsibility of researching the effects of radiation, reporting any potential dangers from it, and of promoting American nuclear testing. He contacted Dr. W.W. Greulich, who had done the original growth survey of Hiroshima children in 1947. Dr. Gruelich, who had become president of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists, did not deny that the report had never been released. But he pointed out, "It would be difficult, if not impossible, to find out precisely why they refused to approve it" and urged him to "write it off" and seek "an academic or other post that will give you the opportunity for economic security which we all need for our families and ourselves. . ." The report was in fact classified, and although it had a publication date of 1959, was never released to the public.

Far from seeking economic security for his family, within 19 months Earle and his family were involved in another protest voyage. With the Pacific Ocean again open to American citizens, they sailed without incident back to Hiroshima ^[24] with Mikami, who became the first Japanese yachtsman to sail around the world. Suemitsu and Fushima had left the crew and returned to Japan from Panama in 1957. To the family's surprise, Japanese newspapers and individual hibakusha ("fire-bombed people") thanked them for sailing into the nuclear test zone "on their behalf" and for giving them a voice by telling the world, "No more Hiroshimas--for anyone, anywhere." They and an increasing number of people around the world began to mail the Reynolds family letters to deliver to world leaders on their behalf, appealing for peace through disarmament.

In October, 1961, the USSR resumed its own nuclear testing. The Reynolds family plus Tom Yoneda^[25] sailed to Nakhodka in protest. (The nearest military port, Vladivostok, was inaccessible in winter.)They carried with them the hundreds of letters they had received. Soviet Coast Guard officers intercepted and boarded the Phoenix well offshore. Capt. Ivanov wrote a page in Jessica's diary echoing the desire for peace but he would not accept the letters. Before ordering the yacht to return to Japan, he had his crew bring aboard legs of mutton, fill every available container with sauerkraut and two 55-gallon drums with diesel fuel, for which they had no use. In her book about the trip, Earle's 17-year old daughter Jessica called this encounter "surreal. Of all the scenarios we had envisioned, this had not been one of them!" ^[26]

In 1962, Reynolds was invited to captain the Everyman III, on which members of A Quaker Action Group (AQAG) sailed from London to Leningrad via Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden. This 48-foot boat, too, was stopped at sea by armed soldiers. This time some of  the crew tried to sink the boat themselves but were tied up with ropes before they succeeded. That same year, Dr. Reynolds and Professor Tatsuo Morito of the University of Hiroshima co-founded the Hiroshima Institute of Peace Science (HIPS). Reynolds became a spokesman for the Japanese peace movement and attempted to work with its Gensuikyo branch until he found it too political for his taste, reporting to the press, "Peace cannot be achieved in an atmosphere of hatred."

Meanwhile Barbara, with two survivors of the Hiroshima bomb, was taking the letters refused by the captain of the Soviet ship around the world to appeal for peace before congressional hearings, in churches and in schools.

Divided on approaches to peace, among other things, Earle and Barbara divorced in 1964 and Earle married his secretary Akie Nagami, a citizen of Hiroshima and a graduate of Hiroshima Women's College where Earle was guest Professor of Anthropology. Together Earle and Akie continued his voyages in the Phoenix. In 1967 a multi-national crew delivered nearly a ton of medical aid to the Red Cross Society of North Vietnam for civilian victims of the Vietnam war. They spent eight days visiting hospitals in Hanoi and Haiphong and observing the effects of American bombing on outlying villages. ^[27] Two other voyages to Vietnam followed.

Earle and Akie made two attempts to sail the Phoenix to Shanghai as a gesture of "friendship and reconciliation" from an American and a Japanese citizen to the people of China, although the Japanese government refused to grant Akie a passport on the grounds China and Japan had no diplomatic relations. In 1968 the Phoenix was stopped on the high seas by a Japanese ship. Two years of litigation followed in Japanese courts. In 1969, with a crew of six Americans, the Phoenix was stopped 20 miles offshore by Chinese authorities and their entry was prohibited.

After these attempts to sail to China, the Japanese government passed a new immigration law cracking down on "undesirable aliens" (1970) and Dr. Reynolds was expelled from his adopted country of 13 years. He and his wife sailed to San Francisco and settled in Ben Lomond, California where they became the resident hosts of Quaker Center. Reynolds sold the Phoenix, giving the money from the sale to Quaker Center in exchange for a lifetime residence on the property. ^[28] He taught Peace Studies at the University of California at Santa Cruz and at Cabrillo College while Akie earned an MA in Peace Studies from Antioch College and worked as a career counselor at UCSC, specializing in peace-making careers and in placing students in overseas jobs. His seminar class founded the Peace Resource Center at Merrill College on the UCSC campus in 1975 but it became a casualty of financial cutbacks in the 1980s. For the next 24 years he continued an active schedule of teaching, writing, meetings, lecture tours, and protests against nuclear testing. Over a two-week period in 1981, 1,900 activists were arrested at Diablo Canyon Power Plant. It was the largest arrest in the history of the U.S. anti-nuclear movement and against nuclear weapons research. Dr. Reynolds was one of those arrested. ^[29]

After Akie's death from breast cancer in 1994, Earle Reynolds spent the last four years of his life in a home for Alzheimer's patients in Garden Grove, California. His daughter wrote a novella based on their relationship during those last years. ^[30]

In a 1986 interview, ^[31] Earle commented on his life work: "I've been a kind of a renegade scientist. As soon as I stepped over the boundaries, as soon as my findings became politically sensitive, I lost my credibility as a scientist. Now a scientist will stand on a podium and say what I was saying 30 years ago. I'm like a voice in the wilderness that finally begins to hear answering voices." ^[32]
