This photo was taken in the Forward Torpedo Room. I think.  This is Mike Lanois.  Thanks to David Lorms,  CS2(SS).

I do recall that he was a fellow non-qual working on his dolphins.  He was a Torpedoman rating attached to the Forward Torpedo Room, under TM1(SS) Thomas.

He was a natural artist, and was a very personable fellow, with a good sense of humor, as we can see here by his demeanor.  This photo was a bit out of focus, but it seems to fit his image well.  For he saw things differently than most, with a humorous or good light, as I remember.
