Spearfish Rescues PEE-WEE

Quote:
But an advantage was that I got to be a good friend of the colored cook. He'd ask me "Lt. Smith, would you like some peaches before going to bed?" Assuming he had some left over from the evening meal, I said yes, then watched as he opened a gallon can of peaches, which he topped with ice cream and sat before me. "MY, what good food these submariners enjoy." I gained 15 pounds before leaving Spearfish.
