He talks about those a lot. He has other pics of himself and other soldiers with Geisha girls.

Scanning these photos is an excellent idea. Too bad you don't have your Dad's stories to go with each photo. I have a few pictures my Dad took in WW II, but he avoided talking about the war. Know he had a miserable experience, but at least he did come home healthy.

First issued in 1902 to teach new recruits about naval procedures and life and offer a reference for active sailors, it has become the "bible" for Navy personnel, providing information about a wide range of Navy topics. The current version, issued in 2009, is the 24th Edition and is given to all enlistees."Loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10737705457021667861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-38553791681201087762014-11-11T10:02:47.684-05:002014-11-11T10:02:47.684-05:00I can see the leaning tower of Pisa...
