Memories of Jean Nelson, '46 - '48

A good time to be young?

I'm Jean's son, Jean E. Nelson II. I was searching the internet for something to surprise my dad with while he was recuperating from knee surgery. After showing him some of the stuff on this site, we dug into his seabag and came up with these to share.


Here's our skipper, Capt. Thomas K. Kimmel.
