...just like home for Mayor Walker. He chatted with everyone, gabbled on the ship's run, watched people drink champagne, radioed a wet friend (onetime Governor George S. Silzer of New Jersey) to "have another." The day of the deck sports he gave out prizes, exacting a kiss from the first, a bunchy little girl of ten.
