StillGeorge Drummond's Jason Photos

Click The Thumbs To See Full-Sized Photos

The following excellent photos are courtesy of George Drummond, EN3. George became a Jason sailor right after having lots of fun in boot camp in San Diego! George came aboard in January of 1960 and left the Jason in late September of 1961. He was in A division and worked on the refrigeration and air conditioning units in the work area called the "ice machines". George also helped to repair the diesels on the Jason's boats and he was also the third crew member on the liberty boats. My sincere thanks go to George for sharing his fine photos with all of us Jason sailors. It's very much appreciated.
