Pictures of my dad Paul Whelan in Paris in 1945. He was an MP and spent most of the war at the Brooklyn Navy Yard which was just down the street from where he was raised and his family still lived. He wasn’t posted to Europe until later in the war.
A Brooklyn “kid” in Paris. My dad was about 31 in this picture.My dad was in the CCC before the war started and worked for the NYC Transit Authority.Great smile and a note for my mom.
Me in 1975 at my first duty station (NAS Pensacola) after Navy Aerographer’s Mate school (weather).

Paper mill smokestacks. I posted this picture on a local Facebook page, and some of the locals who are pro-mill said that it is only water vapor. So, they’re “Cloud Makers.” Hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide clouds with a little methane, carbon monoxide and a few heavy metals thrown in.
These stacks spew 24/7, and another paper mill is within a mile of this one.
The island is so beautiful overall but it’s not without its ugliness too. Thanks for stopping by, Chris

June 1945 464 62nd Street, Brooklyn, New York Uncle Ray, Nana (Ida), and Aunt Janey Most older photographs don’t do the subjects justice, but this one does. I believe the camera was a 6×9.
The war in Europe was over and a couple of months the war with Japan would end. It looked like a beautiful summer day in the small backyard of my grandmother’s home.
Thanks for stopping by, Chris

My Aerographer’s Mate A School class from April 1975. I’m in the second row, third from the left (the tall guy who looks out of place). Naval Air Station Lakehurst, New Jersey
We were fresh out of basic training in the above picture. What is an Aerographer’s Mate (AG)? We are meteorologists and oceanographers, flight weather forecasters, tropical weather experts, severe weather predicters, and all around environmental forecasters (land, sea, air, and sub-surface). The rating just celebrated 100 years of service.
December 1989. Naval Oceanography Command Detachment Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico. My detachment of fellow Aerographer’s Mates pose for our annual Christmas Card photo. I’m the last guy in the first row to the extreme right. The detachment was located on Naval Station Roosevelt Roads in the Operations Building which was adjacent to the airfield.Aerographer’s Mates in OA Division onboard the USS Midway (CV-41). I’m the last guy in the far right. Late 1977, underway from our homeport of Yokosuka, Japan.
I served on three aircraft carriers during my 22 year Navy career. The USS Midway (CV-41), USS Forrestal (CV-59), and finally the USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67). Other duty stations included NAS Pensacola, NAS Jacksonville, and the Naval Submarine Base (NSB) Kings Bay, Georgia. It was a blast!
Our detachment logo in 1990 reflected our support mission to the submarine community (Trident subs).

A 35mm SLR from Canon in the mid 1970s. It’s a close cousin to the more famous Canon F-1.
Just a touch of brass.Here is a mint version.My F-1 from 1978.
If you can find a nice working EF it’s a keeper in any Canon collection. Thanks for stopping by, Chris
