Sea Stories?
Retired Navy Veteran John Kapusta (Post 1562 Derby, CT) self-published a book last year with stories from his time in the Navy as a Mess Management Specialist, and subsequent time in civilian life catering for famous people including Paul Newman, William F. Buckley, and Jim Nantz.
This short and easy read book contains tales which some might consider “Sea Stories” but it is all true because others who were present have attested to them! The book is $25 and John will be donating $5 to Post 1562 for each book sold. Thank You John.
If you are interested to own a copy of this book, please forward your name and phone number to John using the ‘Contact Us’ link on the www.CWV-Post1562.org website.
