James L. Magnuson, Boatswain's Mate

Assigned to the Port Angeles Coast Guard Air Station, James L. Magnuson, Boatswain's Mate, Second Class, has been commended by Secretary of the Navy, James Forestal for aiding in the rescue of three Canadian flyers stranded on an ice-cap off Greenland. The Coastguardman is the son of Mrs. Nellie Magnuson, 4021 Eighth Ave. N.E.

The above was taken from the Magnuson's hometown newspaper, The Seattle Times, many years ago. The Goodlet family would like to express their heart-felt warmth and appreciation to the Magnusons for sharing this historical wealth with us and the world.
