THE STAFF MANAGir G EDITOR ASSISTANT MANAGER SALES EXCHEQUER WITHOUT PORTFOLIO GRAPHICS LAYOUT PHOTOGRAPHIC CONSULTANT ARTIST IN RESIDENCE ENGINEERING CONSULTANT OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS AND ASSISTANTS: PC3 Moore, BMSN Ryan, DS3 Demeza, NCI Licht, STG3 Baranowski, SMI Morse, LTJG Marsden To be great is to be misunderstood Ralph Waldo Emerson 1838 LTJG CHAS KRONAUER CTA2 JIM LONCARIC GSE2 FRANK CONNER OSSN TONY THOMPSON BMSN STEVE RIPSON OSSN JOEL JAFFE GSM3 MARTIN DITMARS LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Due to an apparent administrative mistake, or com- puter logic failure, or to a stroke of good luck at CHINFO, (Washington), last year ' s Cruise Book took first prize in the all-Nav competition in the Small Com- mand category. Encouraged by this unexpected success, and of false promises of winning an all expense paid trip to Tierra del Fcucgo, we have reassembled. In once again undertaking a full scale production, the new staff hopes o demonstrate their superlative talents as photographers, editors, cartoonists and managers. In 1925 the then president Calvin Coolidgc aptly remarked, The business of America is business , and so it is that the business of our formal committee will be getting down to business , as can be clearly seen above. Although unique in its outlook on life , (cenobitical to the last man), this staff is like most staffs found on today ' s destroyers; long on questions and short on an- swers. We too have learned the waltz and tango. And in spite of the everpresent lack of funds and film, what has been achieved on the following pages embodies the spirit of not only the staff, but of the entire CARON crew. We hope to have hit the mark, but this book ' s success shall not be truely measured by CHINFO, but by you. C.R. Kronauer
