CAPT Ginder and "Pop" Wilson
Enterprise CV-6 Commanding Officer CAPT Samuel P. Ginder (left) and "Pop" Wilson, with the cake Wilson presented to A Division, Spring 1943. William N. Marcoux remembers this day: "A patriot elderly yard bird in his sixties from Pearl Harbor Navy Yard, by the name of 'Pop' Wilson, who was a very outgoing type, wanted to do something for the A Division personnel in the war year of 1943. He was a yard machinist and he had done a lot of repair work, particularly on A Division machinery equipment; consequently we all got well acquainted. The birthday cake was his idea and he had the cake baked and presented it to us with a lot of splash in the presence of then-Captain S. P. Ginder."
