Spent 8 weeks in the Brooklyn Ship Yards in the winter if ‘58-’59. Had to wear the old flathat ( Donald Duck hat). Everybody pissed and moaned trying to find theirs at the bottom of their seabags. But at the end of the 8 weeks when we went back to NORVA, nobody wanted to go back the the friggin’ beanie (dixie cup),
