Author Description

This is a Navy that is long gone, a navy of steam ships. Captain Jack was part of a fleet that went to Samoa when that was a remote and strange place. He was part of the fleet that guided the NC-4 flight over the Atlantic, a flight that predated Lindbergh by many years. He offered Jack Benny one of his first professional appearances. He was the Athletic Director for the winning team in the 1919 Rose Bowl.
