During the late World War
II, Fred joined the Navy on
August IA, 1913. He received
his basic training at Farragut,
Idaho. From there he was
transferred to New London,
Conn. base-school to learn the
details of submarine warfare.
He was assigned to the u. S. S.
Parche for further training.
This submarine had a compile
ment of 78 men and officers,
and Fred received overseas Or
ders in February 1914, for
duty aboard the Parche in
Pacific waters. From the Am
erican base they were ordered
to Pearl Harbor, Midway,
Guam and Saipan. When they
reached the Far East they op-
Grated mainly off of Japan in
the Yellow Sea and the Sea of
Japan.
In combat their first target
was a large destroyer. The ship
Parche received the Presiden-
tial Unit Citation for firing 10
torpedoes in 16 minutes, hit
ting a dozen targets of the enc
my's ships. In the Parche's
tour of Japan they sank 33
ships.

Fred received his honorable
discharge December 81, 1915,
at Great Lakes, Illinois. After
his discharge and graduation,
he worked at Abbott's labora-
tories for some time. However,
the personnel manager there
advised Fred to seek some out
door employment in which he
would no doubt make good.
So it was that in 1916 he OBJ
tanned employment with Eric
Bright, also Navy man, who
at that time was managing
Zion Gardens for the Chris
tian Catholic Church. In Febru-
airy of 1947, after harmoni-
Gus summer and holiday sea-
son, Eric and Fred decided to
take over Zion Gardens on a
lease proposition from the
Church. In November 1947,
Fred bought Eric Bright out
and now manages Zion Gar
dens himself.
The property consists of one
large greenhouse and two
smaller ones with a new mod

the large greenhouse and fac
