| "STIRRING"
MEMORIES: Stirring. Baking. Broiling. Frying.
Former BB59 cook Harold Nye did it all on USS Massachusetts.
Enlisting in the Navy early in World War II, Mr. Nye served in the galley
on board USS Massachusetts and continued his relationship with the ship
as a lifelong supporter of the museum that
preserves her. As a member of the board
of directors and as a private citizen, Mr. Nye promoted the museum throughout
the region for nearly four decades. Today, visitors can listen to Mr. Nye's sea
tales in the BB59 galley on one of the many oral history monitors he generously
funded. Incidentally, for the curious-minded,
Mr. Nye privately informed us that, yes, if you knew the right people, you could
get a pizza on board! Guess what? You still can! |
