Since I started this...and this is always the problem when you starting naming
names - how could I have forgotten Frank Titman, a Navy Seabee who served on
Iwo Jima building runways, roads and housing? When Ken Zieska and I visited
him a few years ago, we shared stories with Frank about Iwo since Ken and I had
just returned from a tour of the Sulpher Island. Frank showed us an album with
some of the artwork and cartoons he had created for the newspaper distributed
to the troops billeted on Iwo after the war had moved on to Okinawa. As
everyone knows, Frank went on to submit the winning design for the NASG logo -
the clasping couplers.
