Earle .Boais tfleufari SANTA ROSA, CALIFORNIA ' Though he came from the sunny deserts 4+ of California, Earle had a true sailor's I love of the water. Afternoons often found - him splashing around the instruction pool with other star members of the sub squad.

Weekends often found Earle dragging-the girls went for that dark, curly hair, and Earle had quite a weakness for blondes.
