The Sonar shack door was painted by Chandler Bozeman and as you can tell
He was from Florida and his nickname was "Gator"

Ron Geake of Vermont and Montgomery (can't remember his first name) 
Both in Sonar Gang

Picture below was after inspection at sea. Dale Matheney, in the back, was our lead Sonarman SO1 and was from Boston. "Pappy" Crushaw, on the left, was a torpedo-man and had served in WWII, so we looked up to him. Marshall is on the right with the glasses and was in the Sonar gang. The others I can't remember who was who

The midship refueling picture has Hickman (Sonar) in front, then Bozeman, then two people I can't identify, then Pappy Crushaw, Ron Geake and another I can't remember

Refueling from the Lake Champlain is one of a series I took of the refueling process that show the sea breaking over the main deck

Who came aboard to observe

During my time on the Power I took about 350 pictures, but most were of the places we went and the tours I took, such as the one to Rome which was a four day trip.  I have downloaded all that I have of the ship itself, crew members or pictures of things the ship did (such as refueling and plane guard) onto a disc and am sending it to Richard Olson for use at the reunion. There are about 60 in all.
