I think that photo of my dad, Toivo Kangas, was taken aboard the Belle of The West, one of several ships on which he served in the Merchant Marine during WWII. His brothers later said he was lucky because he sailed to so many places. But conditions aboard some of these ships were not always pleasant.

Handsome guy. I thank him for his service.
