,I -'I ' ff -If kgrya' : '??' ,T . This cruise book preserves a record of a very exciting, very special time in the history of.1fIOUNTBAKER and in the lives ofMOUNT BAKER 's superb crew. In here you will find the faces of the men who made up the finest crew in two oceans, you will see them at work and on liberty, you will see them flying, sailing, steaming, awake and asleep, you will find their faces as they look forward to exotic ports, as they look back across the seas and think of their families far across the waters. Each man pictured here carried a piece of the United States with him on the cruise, planted a mustard-seed of Freedom in foreign soil, carried home a cargo of understanding and comradeship toward his fellow man overseas. I have never sailed with a finer group of men. I am proud of their accomplishments and I feel very privileged to be their captain. Through their successes and sacrifices they honor themselves, and their navy, and their nation. 5fQf Jjf Commander Stephen T. Holl was born in 1945 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
