The USS Irex SS–482:
Christmas card, December 1960

It seems that Captain Apthorp was particularly solicitous for his crew's
family life. For Christmas 1960 he sent the families a Christmas card, and
this one was sent to Bob Souden's folks. The photo obviously not taken
in December, for there are leaves on the trees. I presume this was a stock
photo taken in mid-1960.
