Ivan Roy Vail is quite the character. Aboard the Calvert from 1956 to 1958 as a Gunner’s Mate (GM, 4th division), he has countless stories to share (some of which will eventually be shared on this site). After his service in the Navy he found his way to Fairbanks, Alaska in the 1960s where he homesteaded near Fairbanks, Alaska where he continues to live to this day (2015).
Ivan has attended several reunions (when they don’t overlap caribou hunting season) and he has provided photographs, reunion booklets, and the 1956 Far East Cruise Book to be shared with visitors to the Calvert’s web site.
End.
