Letter from Barney R. Carman, 1943

Carman, Barney R.

 

Carman had a lot of company being seasick in rough seas, expects to "keep moving for a while." If his picture is not on the Aztecs in Service board, use one from a yearbook. He is on a "grand ship" that "will bear the old name with honors," the United States Ship Lexington ("The Blue Ghost"), so named when the ship bearing the "old name" was sunk in the Coral Sea.
