Fred came aboard Lipan right out of boot camp in 1943 as a baker and stayed until the end of WWII .   He has some great tales in The Lipan Story Section .

	Lipan when she was brand new.  The photo is a little wrinkled but she's just a kid in this shot.  Fred is standing next to the Chief by the Galley on the main deck.  Unknown ATF behind Lipan.
	Service Squadron Ten anchorage in the Leyte Gulf, Philippines.  When the Japanese surrender was announced all the ships present let loose with a barrage of ship horns, whistles, flares, whatever they had.  It was over.
	Fred in his "Donald Duck" hat.  These hats were eliminated in the early 60's, I believe.  Fred looks good here in his sometime in the early 1940's during WWII
	Fred at Great Lakes Naval Training Center 1943.
	Roy "Pooch" Dunhan. Fred says he never smoked or cussed or drank liquor.
	Lloyd Scott was our biggest guy.
	Shorty Coe in blues. Our smallest guy. From Quick, W. Virginia.
	Roland P. Nunn from Dawson, N Dakota.
	Don Mcfadden from Upper Darby.
	Klingensmith ("Kling") at liberty in K.C. 1945.
	Dick W. Brandt of Los Angeles, Cal April 13, 1945.
	Fred H. ("Joisey" because that's where he's from) Kimball on leave in Maple Shade, NJ, January 1945.
	Fred Kimball's wife, Mae, circa 1946.
	Crew of the Cruiser USS Chicago that Fred Kimball's dad served on in WW-I.
	Dunno what it is but there's an ATF in the background.  My guess is that its the USS Barry, an old DD that Lipan had rigged with smoke pots and lights to fool the Japanese into a Kamikaze attack on an empty hulk.  The Japanese attacked it while Lipan was towing it into position.  read Fred's account of it in the The Lipan Story section.
	Fred and Mae today.  Fred used his Navy Baking Skills well and opened a bakery in Maine before heading to Florida with Mae.  They've moved back to Maine as of late.
