At random: USS SKATE and USS SEADRAGON, after affecting a historic rendezvous under the ice, surfaced together at the North Pole through an opening in the ice on August 1962. What really happened: We didn't surface together, Skate surfaced first. Then we (Seadragon) fired yellow flares forward and aft so Skate could tell us how we were lined up. Remember, under-ice was primitive in these days. Skate called back down rapidly that one flare surfaced on her starboard side and the other to port. She requested we reposition before vertical surfacing. We did. - Coyote (Owen Carlson)

I first met Margery & Frank about 10 years ago for lunch down in Coos Bay, OR when they were living on the coast. Met them at the Mill Casino where my wife and I were doing our typical Indian Tribe contribution (someone has to feed those poor, starving injuns - right!)... Anyhow, I got my wife to take a picture of Frank and I, trouble was I'm over 6 foot and Frank is 5 foot nothing. So, I stooped way down and had her take the shot from the waist up - hence started the legend of that WWII USS Blenny giant named Frank Toon (picture around here someplace)... GREAT couple those two!
