Comments: My Neighbor passed away leaving me with two beautiful albums of photos taken of her husband and many other navy personel when they were in Kwajalein in 1952/3. Many photos of the city, as well as group photos of the men, and photos taken in the "EM Club" (I think) I never knew the husband, James L Rumery. There is a photo of a ship and the caption reads Fred C Ainsworth, so I guessed that he was on that ship.
I would like to put these albums in the hands of someone who was there at the time or someone who would appriciate them. I don't know where to begin to look for a place to send them. Any help would be appriciated, James had no family that I know of.
Thank you, Joni Saunders
