FROM THE EDITOR THE INDIVIDUALS SELECTED FOR THE T964 PROCYON CRUISEBOOK STAFF WERE HAND-PlCKED BY CAPTAIN ABERCROMBIE AND MYSELF. CREDIT FOR THE QUALITY AND SUCCESS OF THE BOOK GOES TO: SEAMAN G. POST, POST PROVED THAT HE HAS ARTISTIC TALENT AND IMAGI- NATION TO BURN ! HE SINGLE HANDEDLY PROVIDED ALL ARTISTIC INNOVATIONS INCLUDED IN THE BOOK . . . WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY CARRYING A MAJOR PART OF THE DECK DEPARTMENT'S MISSION OF TITIVATING THE SHIP. POST ATTENDED CHOUINARD'S ART INSTITUTE AT LOS ANGELES PRIOR ,TO ENTERING THE NAVY. BOATSWAINS MATE FIRST CLASS W. PIERCE, HE WAS AN OUTSTANDING SALES MANAGER AND PROMOTER. AT THE CLOSE OF HIS FIRST DAY OF SALES- MANSHIP AT THEEND OF THE PAY LINE, PIERCE HAD SOLICITED PU-R- CHASES FROM 85'XB OF THE CREW. A FEW OF HIS PROFESSIONALLY AD- MINISTERED JUDO CHOPS CONVINCED EVEN THE MOST SKEPTICAL SAILOR THAT THE '64 CRUISEBOOK WAS A MUST ITEM. LT CJGJ J WHITE, OUR STAFF WRITER HAS COMBINED THE MORE SERIOUS ASPECTS OF THE CRUISE WITH THE MANY HUMOROUS INCIDENTS AND, I AM CERTAIN, HAS PROVOKED MANY A CHUCKLE AS A RESULT OF HIS TONGUE-IN-CHEEK STYLE THROUGHOUT THE BOOK. LT IJGI CSELECTI D. CURTIS, AS ASSISTANT EDITOR AND LAYOUT MAN, MR. CURTIS CARRIED A LION'S SHARE OF THE ACTUAL SKULL-DUGGERY IN- VOLVED IN PREPARING THE BOOK. HE SPENT MANY LONG HOURS AC- CUMULATING PICTURES AND MOLDING CARICATURES, WRITE-UPS, AND IDEAS IALONG WITH THE PICTURESJ INTO THE COMPLETED CRUISEBOOK YOU ARE NOW READING. PHOTO CREDITS ARE DIVIDED AMONG NUMEROUS CAMERA-BUGS. IT WOULD NOT BE FAIR TO SINGLE OUT ONE PHOTOGRAPHER AND NOT TO MENTION OTHERS, SO HERE THEY ARE: BAKER, SN, BURTON, HM3, WOODALL, SK3, WOOD, FN, LT UGI ELLIOTT, EELKNER, BT3, CAP- TAIN ABERCROMBIE, VIDRINE, BT3p SJOERDSMA, SN, HERIGSTAD, SN, STAFF MEMBERS. I WISH TO CONVEY A SINCERE THANK YOU TO EACH OF THE INDI- VIDUALS MENTIONED ABOVE. I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE QUALITY AND OVERWHELMED WITH THE QUANTITY OF THE PICTURES YOU SUBMITTED. WITHOUT YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO CRUISEBOOK. T. CHRISTENSEN 1.43, QR 'Q A
