Down in the radio shack, the boys handled a constant flow of messages and weather reports and kept the tactical circuits, both on the bridge and in combat in peak condi- tion. The Corley Daily Gazette, edited by the Royal Baby himself, kept us up on the home front news, hollywood gossip and ball- scores. Under adverse holiday conditions, the watch bill was delivered from the beach, a true and respected devotion to duty. -x -I, Front Row, L-R: Robinson, Carnevale, Young, Perry, Roy, Hall 2nd Row, L-R: Wastnund, Joyce, Ens.
