-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The story went that he was an old man joining the Navy at 31 yrs old. Everyone called him Pops. He was short, but he was a farm boy, so he was strong. He joined the Navy because the line was shortest, and they kept him behind a desk because he had gone to Normal School and knew how to type.
