Saratoga CV3

• Evan Dwyer said:

  This is also in the Panama Canal, early 1930s. The floatplane at left appears to be mounted on a trolley for catapult use. The catapult was removed in 1934. The crane at right was for recovering floatplanes from the water. The guns of No. 1 8" mount are just visible at the right. There are civilians with an officer at left, so this may be a demonstration for local officials. A sailor appears to be handling either fuel or fire hoses at right.

  I think this is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Crooks "Richard Alexander Crooks (June 26, 1900 – September 29, 1972) was an American tenor and a leading singer at the New York Metropolitan Opera."

  See oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt3z09q52j/ for a finding aid to the Richard and Mildred Crooks Collection, ARS-0004, held by the Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound, Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, Calif. "Alexander Richard Crooks, tenor, was born in Trenton, N.J. on June 26, 1900. He toured widely, and sang with the Metropolitan Opera Company from 1933 to 1942. Crooks recorded extensively for the Victor record company, and was featured on several radio series from 1929 to 1945. He married his childhood friend Mildred Pine in 1921 and they had two children, Patricia and Richard, Jr. In retirement, the couple settled in Portola Valley. Richard Crooks died on September 30, 1972." His NYT obituary from Oct. 1, 1972 www.nytimes.com/1972/10/01/archives/richard-croohs-tenor-... indicates that "in 1925, Mr. Crooks left for Europe to further his studies and by 1927 he was singing opera in Hamburg and Berlin." "He leaves his wife, the former Mildred Wallace Pine ..." See: www.findagrave.com/memorial/201023835/richard-crooks www.findagrave.com/memorial/200991783/mildred-wallace-crooks
