Message:   IN SEPT.1961 I WAS ATTACHED TO USN-MCB-1 [SEABEES] GOING TO MC MURDO, ANATARCTICA. VIA STATES,CANTON ISLAND, FIJI, CHIRSTCHURCH,N.Z. OUR BATTALION WAS ASIIGNED TO BUILD THE FIRST NUKE REACTOR PLANT AT MC MURDO. WHEN I ARRIVED AT CANTON ISLAND, AS A YOUNG LAD FROM BROOKLYN,N.Y.. I FOUND IT UNLIKE THE ISLAND MOVIES,I WATCHED WITH HOPE AND CROSBY. WE DID NOT STAY LONG ON THE ISLAND, BEFORE WE WERE AIRBORNE AGAIN,BUT I MUST SAY AFTER BEING AT MCMURDO FOR AWHILE,I THOUGHT OF THAT LITTLE SPOT IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN, OFTEN. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW.
