Already wise in the ways of the sea, as prescribed by the Naval Reserve, he fit right into the Academy pro- grams with scarcely a harsh word. Time passed, and in the process Lee managed to make a few changes in the Academy and the Mohegan Hotel. He even wrote for the Howling Gale now and then, though one issue magically avoided being published. As an out- standing leader in all laboratory periods, Leois quick Wit made the long hours fly by in breathless minutes. Leo was always quick to get his friends some fine looking dates, even at his own expense. As a good teacher and a fine personal example, Leo is a good man to have around and a fine one for the Coast Guard to keep. 28 WXMWWZV ,W s,,,, f f KQW gf, X f f

An exquisite bass voice steered him toward the ldlers, Clee Club and Singers. After a few misfortunes in a sailboat, HAdam', joined the Coast Guard team of 'cdinghy dunkersi' to sail four years for the Academy. This aided him in spreading his other interests to places such as Chicago and New Orleans. Always fond of liberty and parties, his min- iature ring has worn thin in its travel over the past two years. Even his big ring has had a brief romance or two. His liking for the little cars encouraged him to become an avid sports car fan and owner early in his Cadet career. His likeable personality and in- terests are bound to take him far in the service. 27

LW:'Z-'lir'thrv-l'f'a..1':-n-sacan-av.. -A An asset to the Academy track team in the mile as a fourth classman, Nick decided to turn his attention to other things in the years following. In the winter youid find him skiing down some snowy slopes near his home, the HOutdoorsman's Paradise. When the weather was milder, he likes to take long camping and fishing trips around the beautiful lakes of Maine. Nick's abilities in the literary field are shown in many poems. His A Prayer For Americansn earned him an award in the Freed0m's Foundation Contest. In Hdays of oldv Nick was an integral part of uLittle Parris lslandn of Alpha One, and he still retains that spirit. Even though it was difficult understanding Nick's Maine language, it has been a pleasure asso- ciating with him. His sincerity has won him many friends, both here and in European ports. 29
