A picture is worth a thousand words


Not sure of the date of this, I remember reading about it in '43.
This happened somewhere near Okinawa.
Harley "Flash" Grossman was the photographer.
After submitting this photograph to Eleventh Naval District Commander Roland Baker
Harley was transferred to the Psychiatric Ward of Balboa Hospital
in San Diego, California
He was released in 1946 and became a powerful voice in
California politics and many of his innovative suggestions and plans
can be attributed to the condition of the state, to this day.
