All of these pictures were loose in the scrapbook, but appear to date to the time of the album.
This appears to be a marching/backpacking exercise. There are three pictures, all with the same developing marks, that form a group. The trees are bare, so this could be Fall of 1945 at Gustavus Adolphus.
Part of the set of three. A sailor working, pulling something with a rope.
A picture of my dad, Francis N. Duffey, taken during the march. Could be a self-portrait.
This is a picture of my grandfather, William R. Duffey I. Unknown date.
This is a picture of my dad, Franicis N. Duffey and an unknown older man. Professor? Uncle?
This is the uploaded scrapbook of Francis N. Duffey, recording his V-5 Naval training experiences at Gustavus Adolphus College (St. Peter, Minnesota), Iowa State University (Ames), and at the University of Kansas (Lawrence), from 1945 to 1946. " Eighty brand new Naval V-5 trainees, with visions of props and wings, began their military life at a little college in southern Minnesota -- Gustavus Adolphus. There were no airplanes, and the books could be rough, but it was a good life."
Anchors Aweigh!
