 This is me, Larry Johansen, at Barracks "J" Yokosuka (L), 1952 |
 This is me and my lovely wife, Phyllis, taken August, 2008 |
Here I am with my buddies on Azuma, ca 1952. I'm on the top row,
right
The handsome
devil in the middle, top row, that's me.

 Club Alliance, 1957 |
 Formerly, Club Alliance, the EM Club What ever happened to the 25¢ Lucky Lager? |
Sailors like me would never recognize the throughway that goes
past the main gate at FAC, Yokusuka.
Larry had this to say:
"You have to be a lot younger than I am. (actually, Larry, I'm only about five years younger than you.) I went to Yorktown in 1952 and Azuma Island from 1952 -1955. I'm sure you have all the pictures I could contribute, but I'll send you a few. When I was at Yokosuka, Minemen were housed in barracks "J." Later in '55 they moved to barracks A."
[Note: I'd bet my life that Larry knew Chin Sing and worked along side him]
