Mare Island fostered many stories / Bowen, Jerry [187] [WAYITWAS-2003-187]
Last March, my fellow history columnist Goerke-Shrode, Sabine wrote an article on Mare Island, but I thought I would expand on it a little with a few stories about the ships and men who were part of the island's history, similar to "the rest of the story" as radio commentator Paul Harvey would say.
