Al Cobb's movie camera
recorded the 93rd Seabees on the sea and landing, clearing roads and
constructing air fields. It also filmed the relocation of the Green
Islands natives. But alas the camera was in a bad mood the day Bob
Conner and his cronies recruited Cobb for a beach shoot. (below)
Cobb's family has made available a
41
minute collection of scenes of the 93rd Seabees, available in Video or DVD
for $4 (just the cost of shipping), with the proviso that it not be used or
sold for profit.

Sat. This has really been a pretty day. Hope tomorrow is the same so that my
movies can be made. Went to see As Thousands Cheer. Very good.

Sun. This started out to be a pretty day but that was as far as it went.

and I went to the ocean to take some movies. After trying for an hour we had
to give up. The film was stuck. We were caught in a pouring down rain before
we got back. Had a swell roast beef dinner this noon. Read all afternoon and
went to see The Song of Bernadette this evening.
