From a later newspaper article:
". . . Dick Stimler stopped in at the office last week, looking husky as ever. Ensign Stimler graduated from Annapolis Naval Academy in June, 1950, and has been serving in the Korean waters since then. After spending the holidays here in Wayzata, he will report to New London, Connecticut, early in January for submarine training. His wife, Diane, will accompany him east where they have already arranged for living quarters.
"The Stimlers' address after January 1 will be Box 7, U. S. Naval Submarine Base, New London, Connecticut."
