In this picture is Cpt. John Richard Elders, head Navy commander and fearless captain of the Lady Endeavor. He has been captain of this ship for over 20 years, and as a commemoration article for his hometown of Princeton, Ohio, a writer for the local gazette has come on board for a tour and interview with Elders. The two begin their introduction with a little light chat about how Princeton is doing and who in the town is up to what, seeing as John has not been neck in several years since the death of his wife from a bad case of food poisoning. The captain in this picture is trying to gracefully explain his reason for not coming home recently to the reporter and trying to maintain a fake smile while the real underlying reasons are still underneath. Eventually, Elders will change the subject abruptly and begin his tour of the ship with he reporter as if nothing had upset him.
