"So
the landlubber goes to sea. In Oct. 1944
I was commissioned a deck officer. They
told me I was reasonably well-prepared for duty afloat. Now that I've come aboard in July 1947 nearly
all the vital facts about seamanship crammed into me during four hectic months
at Notre Dame have escaped my memory."
--Letter
from my father, aboard U.S.S. McCard, at Providence, R.I.., to my mother,
Hutchinson, Kans., Sunday, July 27, 1947. My father was on a naval voyage as a
Navy reservist.
