William R. Huntington

[clarification needed] During World War II, Huntington co-directed a camp in Big Flats, N.Y. for conscientious objectors.

From 1947 to 1949, he co-commissioned relief operations in Europe representing the American Friends Service Committee.

The under-sized vessel, aptly named Golden Rule, is considered to be the first watercraft to attempt the disruption of a nuclear test.

From 1961 to 1963, Huntington directed assistance operations in Tunisia and Algeria for refugees displaced by the French-Algerian War.
