SUMMER CHORES

ILLUSTRATION: Staff photos by D. KEVIN ELLIOTT

On Aug. 23 and 24, Arrowhead Elementary School's Adopt-A-School

partner, the amphibious ship Gunston Hall, sent personnel to paint

the school's gymnasium. The school system's maintenance plant

provided paint. Brushes, rollers and pans were donated by another

partner, Neighborhood Home Center. Among the 25 shipmates from the

landing ship dock who did the honors were Seaman Apprentice Jim

Degeneffe, 22, above; and Petty Officer 3rd Class James Thomas, 27,

a mess specialist, below.
