Navy Blue and Other Colors

The book, in the main, grew out of my experience as one of the first of two African-American women officers in the Navy. Before describing my application, acceptance, training, assignments and friendships in the service, I outline my life up to that cruicial point. Birth and early childhood were in Pennsylvania and New York.

Following my discharge from the service, I relate adventures, largely growing out of that exposure. The last third of my story includes the happy experience of my second marriage, now in its forty-third year--in stark contrast to the first, which endured here and in Paris, France for less than two months.

The above was written in 1996. She died in 1998.
