know thatth loss of your son
has been most painful to you both
and likewise to all who knew him.
1t seems tragic that men of his
calibre cannot always be spared.
Your son was both respected
and admired by his fellow crew
members and his officers; and
one who could be depended upon
for more than his share of work,
He frequently made extra efforts
to secure entertainment and re-
creation facilities for his fellow
crew members and such efforts
were usually successful and were

HEROIsM AT STAMPS was
made possible due to the courage
of two Negro school children. A
white fisherwoman was seen by
the lads as they crossed the bridge
spanning June Lake, with her dress
over her head. They saw that she
was in a precarious condition with
her head and the upper part Of
her body in the water, and her
foot caught in a railing inside the
boat in which she was riding there

Nelson, nor his wife, will eat any
fish. He likes to catch the fish,
and gives them away, if nobody
will buy them. He prefers giving
them away rather than peddle them
