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

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

14 One of the Long Island Ferry's most frequent cus- tomers, 4'Baldy left the beautiful South Shore to begin a new life on the Thames. The first thing he did that memorable summer was to show his prowess with a dinghy, and he's been doing it ever since. lt was sometimes wondered what the 1962-1963 captain of the sailing team enjoyed more-the sailing, or the trips to Chicago. The Cadet Musical Activities also gained a fine bass voice with Dave, who was a mem- ber of the Clee Club, Singers, and ldlers. Not one to shy away from the amenities, he holds an un- official record for the number of times having two dates in one afternoon, and no one in Alpha Company will forget Dave's attendance at the parties at Green port. Dave's congeniality and perseverance will surely be welcomed wherever he and his Alfa are assigned. 30
