Lt. William P.Kantor

The VS29 pictures brought back some memories.  I have had my son in
law scan some slides.  There are three that are attached.  The one from
Pearl Harbor is a favorite that will be enlarged.  The second is of the
skipper's AC (76) in moon glow prior to a night launch.  It looks to be a
little underexposed.  The third is the only one that has survived of
Commander Kreutz's last recovery aboard the Kearsarge.  That is Tom Hultz on the trombone.
