Publisher Description: She is most definitely a chip off the old Shake Davis block. In fact, her Dad is more than a little proud of his daughter, who is both a research scientist oceanographer at the famed Woods Hole Institute and a U.S. Navy Reserve officer. When Tracey Davis is called to do her annual active duty stint at the Navy's diving center in the Florida panhandle, her retired Marine father thinks its a great opportunity where his only child will be well-occupied--and out of harms way. |
