At random: The late Capt. Don Ulmer, USN SS (Ret.), and noted submarine author, began his military career by enlisting in the U.S. Navy in 1947 and in 1949 while serving as an electrical technician E-4 aboard the submarine USS Clamagore, he was transferred to the Naval Academy. When he asked his commanding officer why he was being sent to Annapolis, the skipper replied, "I don't think you're smart enough to make E-5 and I need the bunk space." Ulmer graduated in 1954 and in 1967 returned to command Clamagore, possibly the only officer to command a U.S. warship having served on it as an enlisted man.

I recently received a request for some earlier recordings of Ricky Nelson’s career. Of course, I realized who Ricky was but was completely ignorant of his childhood career with his parents on their show Ossie and Harriet. This was because it was never put out on UK TV at that time and it slipped me by. Here by way of recompense are two of his most famous tracks, “Hello Mary Lou,” and “The Garden Party.” Always loved those very American two names for American girls such as Mary Lou, Mary Beth, etc. It was unknown and fascinating to us over here.
