349-10 ID's and memories by  Paul Schulz:
Left to Right: 
* HMC(SS) "Doc" Cespiva, 
* QM1(SS) Adkins, 
* TMSN(SS) Zeiller.  

** Doc Cespiva, as you face the photo is on your left. He has a ball cap on and is in a civilian shirt.  

** QM1(SS) Adkins is in the center with a civilian shirt on.

** TM3(SS) Zeiller is to the right with dungarees on and has his left hand in his shirt pocket going for a cigarette.

***I could never forget ole Doc Cespiva. They dropped a torpedo loading skid on my hand and fortunately, it only smashed my middle finger, right hand. Needless to say, it produced a blood blister under my fingernail. I went back to the after battery to find the Doc and what does he do?
Straightens out a paperclip, heats it with his Zippo lighter and burns a hole in my nail to vent off the blood, felt good relieving the pressure but sure smelt bad burning nail and flesh!!
