Long Ago in American Samoa and Other Memories

These stories are memories of remote and somewhat primitve American Samoa in 1932-34 and later adulthood memories of submarines, a bungled introduction to President Truman, his dog's midadventures, his father's feats, dancing, unusual uses of English, piano playing, cats as pets, Christmas letters, celestial navigation, and assorted other events in the life of a naval officer, editor, and retiree.
