Ellison Memories, Jerry Blake
The Fall of 1960 while we were in port in Charleston, SC
Taken in Charleston sometime in late Fall or Winter of 1960.

Taken in the Persian Gulf sometime in February of 1960. I don't know who painted the picture but someone got Captain Bass to allow them to put it up. When we went back through the Suez Canal and rejoined the 6th Fleet, the Squadron Commander made him take it down. So we had it up for a month or more.
