John and his lovely wife made it to COD on Monday around 11:15 a.m. It was a great day for touring COD and to make it even more special, our former shipkeeper, Fred McClelland, stopped by for a visit and dose of diesel smoke. Fred is pretty frail these days, but he makes the effort to drive 30 miles and climb aboard. He is a veteran of the USS SAILFISH (nee SQUALUS) in WWII.
Next to Fred is Boats Flint, COD's COB. John made a point to share his admiration for Fred (and in doing so, made his day!)...
Pictures!
