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 have already incorporated your info into the story. I'm wondering about using some of the pictures. I've used pictures of the Dive Tower & explained it's job, so maybe your pictures have a place also. I also have to decide where pictures of the crew belong. Elmer had many - too many, but I want to illustrate how the guys behaved and seemed to have fun, even on these dangerous missions.

I have the 1st War Patrol typed, but as I said, I need to slip some pictures here and there.

I read one time that no one writes a book by themselves, and boy is that true. Besides all my friends on the BBS, I've been working with a man in Minnesota via many lengthy long-distance phone calls, who has taught me how to place pictures and Elmer's letters in their proper place.

You guys are the greatest!!

Cora
