During our stay at Ivvakuni we unfortunately lost one of our storekeepers when Robert A., Arnold, SKSN, died at ' the Naval Hospital, Yokosuka. His death was caused by an internal ailment, the full seriousness of which was not even realized by Bob until the time of his death. It was a great shock to Supply to learn that Bob had passed away. Our 'commisseration to Bob's family and friends back in Maryland ' cannot be expressed too strongly. , p It was, while we were in the Pescadores that We had a change of Division Officers when Lt. W. R. Wallinan checked in from Supply Officer Training School, Bayonne, N. J., to re- place LUG. Treptovv. 'Among the ,first ship's servicement aboard Were Clark, Tuzzolino and Kalinski. W. W. Cathey reported shortly thereafter and began operations in the tailor shop. The Barber Shop was put in charge of Peterson, ADE2, and, assisted by 'Harris, Kennedy, Evans, 'Tanner, Miller and -Travis, they tried to keep' from 900 to 1,000 men prepared for inspections so far as. haircuts were concerned. V ., The Ship's Store was operated by D. V. Morse, SK3, and the soda fountain by B. SP. Pulos, SN, M. Morris, SN, M. D. Ugle, SN, W. C. Mudge, SNg'and J. Collier, SN. . The lone chief'ship's serviceman aboard was W. H. Knopp and he. did -an excellent job of keeping the coke machine and soda fountain operating as often as Was' humanly possible. ln addition, Chief Knopp supervised the barber shop and Ship's Stores activities. Although the mess hall did not officially open until the day of commissioning, a number ofcooks and bakers had already reported aboard. These included: Forsythe, Falkenstein, Cirby, Lewis, Azevedo, Wenck, Genco, Steuart and Capetta. By the time We had left the States We had added D. E. Facklam, CSC, and J. C. Zinky, CSC. 25
