My photo-scrapbook album

PR Poster

I remember Chip taking this picture of Lee and me. He was telling us a joke, I don't remember what it was, but we had a good chuckle.

Ensign Crane on leave

We'd received a week's leave in New London, while Nautilus needed a few repairs and I used the time to go home to Boston and check on a few things. I offered a ride to Ensign Crane who's mother lived in Cape Cod and two other of my Junior Officers who also had family nearby.

On the way, I stopped at one of Boston's old eateries and insisted on some photographs for posterity. (It was an old historical landmark-but I don't remember now what it was)

Kowalski's sketch of Lee by the Mini Sub

Kowalski sketchified a publicity portrait the Navy sponsored as a recruitment picture. I think Ski got some of Lee's broodiness, but it's a bit dark. Lee liked it a lot better than the poster the Navy published.

My two boys, what more can I say. They're sometimes at odds with each other, and other times you have to watch out for their high jinks, but the fact remains they're the best damn command team ever.

I've known Chip since he entered the Academy. Is it any wonder I offered him the post of XO for my 'folly', the Seaview.

Jones always threatened the crew with him if they didn't tow the line. So does Lee. But Chip knows and I know he's really a pussycat. A great big pussycat with sharp fangs and claws.
