The rest of the story:
George Williams tried unsuccessfully for 5 years to get his submarine school graduation photo posted to the USSVI National website.
He then asked our Perch Base Webmaster, Dan Marks, for help. It took another 6 months for Dan to locate someone who could post
the photo, but it is now on the USSVI National website.
