Jerome:
When underway on the USS PIPER (SS-409)and Patsy Mazzuchi was the quartermaster-of-the-watch, he would spread his chart across the chart table in the Control Room. I anyone dared to ask him where we were; he would reply, "here" and spread his open
hand at some spot on the chart. He believed that only the wardroom officers need to know where we were.......
Mickey Mantle was his favorite baseball hero, he called him "The Bubblegum Kid"
Have a wonderful day,
