John Rose Photos

Mess Hall. As an 18 year old mess cook, John Rose thought Master at Arms, BM1 Cassidy was the meanest MA in the fleet. John says, "he had us pick flowers every day for the tables". "The Marines had a real problem with this but dared not say a word".

The pool at Leeward was nice, but without girls, It wasn't that nice

Way down at the end of the airstrip

This shot was taken from down around the Dependent Club. It shows the narrow waterway from the bay to the dock area.

John's buddy, Bernie Bernhard and his 51 merc.

The back bay. Lots and lots of mosquitos, but what a great fishing hole !

John Rose, with Bernie's Merc. Thanks for the memories John. I know everyone will enjoy your pictures.
