IOSEPH W. PITT came aboard the STEVE in April of this year and took over the duties of Assistant First Lieutenant. Since then he has been boss of the 2nd Division and has been helping Charlie keep the STEVE shipshape.

NOLD, IR. came to the Stevenson in January 1944 just before she set out for the Pacific. In April of this year he relieved our old friend Ed Fritz as First Lieu- tenant., Since the ship's visit to Tokyo -Bay, Charlie has had the collateral duty of ad- viser, friend, and custodian of Geisha, the little brown and white dog which he found in Yokosuka. Before coming into the Navy, Charlie attended Brown University and was in the NROTC unit there. Upon receiving his commission he reported to the Destroyer School at Norfolk and from there to the STEVE. Right now he is undecided about the future. He will probably live near Philadelphia at 100 Wynnedale Rd., Narberth, Pa., and settle down in some business the nature 'of whch is now pretty indefinite. , friendly manner that characterize the people from that remarkable place. He also has some of the spirit of Sam Houston which he showed when he resisted the supporters of King Neptune's throne. Ioe was attending the University of Texas before he entered the Navy. Upon becoming a civilian again he hopes to finish his course at the University of Texas and then settle down to a quiet home life in San Antonio at 3202 McCullough Ave. EDFR EDWARD A. FRITZ, Big Ed , came aboard ,at the very beginning of the STEVES career. As First Lieutenant he was a man of 'few words but with a sense of humor which made him well liked by all. Formerly a bachelor Ed married Eleanor when the STEVE came back to Seattle. Before the war an accountant, Ed is again a civilian and probably back to his old field. Ed gives his address as Arlington, Vermont. IOHN E. HARWOOD, Pop , Dean of the Wardroom Mess by virtue of his thirty-odd years . . . reported aboard in the Admiralties in October 1944 . . .

WILLIAM E. HERRON known variously as Pay or Bill was our genial Paymaster and Supply Officer from Ian. 1944 when he came aboard until his relief finally arrived in Sept. 1945. How Pay always managed to have the stores arrive in the middle of the night, we'll never know. But Bill was always generous with his sympathy anyway. Bill and Betty plan to live at 1095 Piedmont Road in Columbus, Ohio, where Bill is going back to the Law School at Ohio State. No family as yet at the last report. IAMES GRISHAM, Pay . . . Slim, silent, skeptical . . . arrived iust in time for world cruise . . . given unenviable task of separating Title B from Title C . . . cigars, poker and Scotch betray him as a son of the Southwest.

Ghzqr S ' i o S T Boats as we called HERBERT, L. M., CBM was the quiet and serious type of fellow always thinking up some new kind of way to play a practcial joke.. A close friend to us all, he never refused a favor if it were possible, and we know all the seamen will long remember him. Although Boats address is Iota, Louisiana, when last seen was back on the STEVE. KOZAK, GILBERT S., CFC. Most people call him Zak . He hails from 4427 Lake- view Ave., Detroit, Mich., where he has a wonderful wife waiting for him. Although Zak is regular Navy, he has only a short time to do and though he has already made his decisions of post-war plans, they are not publicly known. Strictly a destroyer man he has been on the U.S.S. Forrest and helped put the STEVE in commission. REISINGER F. I. CGM headed the gunners mates and kept the battery in pretty fair shape. He kept to himself most of the time but when urged into conversation, he could tell some tall Sea-Stories which held everyone's interest. He's back in the printing business and his home is 976 Hatch St., Cincinnati, Ohio. SHEDD IOHN CSPtAD. Iohn was known as the kid from Philly . Always having something to say in a joking way he was well liked by all hands due to his good sense of humor and iolly Hi kid . John lives in Philly and is probably listed in the city di- rectory. I. W. BRANAM the kid from anywhere you can name there wasnt anything or anyone you knew or did that he hasnt don-, before. I. W. Branam either kept up or Y brought down everyone s morale depending upon how you approached him. ou may find him anywhere you look especially Boston. . pf 11' l x X s 35 t l . .
