Mess Hall mess on the USS LaVallette, 1943.
Rough seas on the USS LaVallette provided crew members with a different challenge, and a source of humor at best.

Happy Birthday George! I really enjoy looking at your drawings. This one reminds me of a phone call I received from Shipmate Walter Bondurick, he asked if anyone remembered the cook who made SPAM taste good. We received several responses from the shipmates but not a concrete answer. In 2009 I learned that shipmate Roger Lochrem worked for Hormel and he introduced SPAM to the nation. Who would think. I hope you have a wonderful birthday and thank you for the opportunity to view your wonderful drawings a paintings.
Roger was known aboard ship as the SPAM salesman.I enjoyed Roger and his wife at the Seattle reunion
Again Happy Birthday George
