Scope and Contents

Presentation album entitled "Captain Theodore S. Stern, ESO, 1959-1962" documenting his work as Operations Officer of the Electronics Supply Office, Great Lakes. The album contains clippings and testimonial letters including a teletype message from Paul F. Foster, Vice Admiral USN Ret., praising Stern particularly for his work as Officer in Charge of the creation of a Naval Advanced Base at Salinas, Ecuador, to serve the Pacific Fleet during World War II (work which Foster investigated when Stern was charged with having exceeded his authority by diverting efforts to aid victims of a major earthquake, and Stern was promoted rather than court marshaled).
