[StartQuote] Thanks, Ted. I've seen that photo of the UDT 4 man nicknamed "Swede" before -- I always thought he resembled the actor Alan Hale, Jr. in his younger days, particularly as he appeared, with a beard, in the James Garner movie "Up Periscope" (in which Garner portrayed a UDT man). When I first lived on St. Thomas in the mid-1960's, I got to meet members of UDT 21, visiting them with my Dad a time or two at their barracks at the old Sub Base, and I remember watching them fill their air tanks and rinse their parachute canopies in fresh water there. They used to do exhibition jumps into the harbor at Carnival time, tooling around and picking up the jumpers in a landing craft. They were pretty cool and laid-back guys, and I was in awe of them as an 11 and 12-year old. [EndQuote]
