This is Marvin, a veteran of World War II. Marvin was born to Chinese parents in the Chinese community of Locke on the Sacramento River Delta east of the Bay Area. Marvin worked at the U.S. Navy facility, Mare Island, at Vallejo. His small size served him well to work in the tanks and compartments of the submarines being repaired or built at Mare Island. For many years, Marvin has worked on the restored World War II-era
Baloa-class submarine U.S.S.
Pampanito at Pier 45, San Francisco. Note Marvin's ever-present cup of coffee.

Two more World War II veterans, the submarine
