USS Burns DD-588, Fletcher class destroyer. My grandfather is the dude with his left hand on the barrel, fourth row back. He also served on the USS Davis DD-395 and USS-Prairie AD-15.

Is your grandfather still around? If so thank him for me for his service. Destroyer service is one step away from sub duty, they spent a lot of time half under water.. they used to follow us in rough seas, when I rode the carrier, funny to see the radar dome under the bow,, almost as much as the deck..

 

"All of me, why not see all of me------"

 

He passed a while ago and lived half a country away. Sadly, I only met him a couple times when I was very young.

 

"Arthur Leipzig's career as a photographer fulfills the ideals of the great era of American photo-journalism. His start with the Photo League of the 1940's, his freelance work in the 1950's and 60's, and his years of full-time teaching with more freedom to choose his assignments in the 1970's and 80's, illustrate the opportunities and hardships of a life in photography. The photographs in this catalogue celebrate Leipzig's art - a life work that has been a sustained creative response to the challenge of photography as a means for expressing fundamental human experience."

not to burst any bubbles, but it was just a few days ago, anniversary of the first xray, and,, if you look, the xray isnt of the lady, head is not tilted in the xray.

 

My grandfather died during WWII, KIA aboard USS Enterprise, 24 Aug 1942 during the Battle of Eastern Solomons and I never met him.

 

Novadude - no bubbles - just what popped into my head.
