| My name
is Larry Geren. I was in the U.S. Coast Guard (enlisted) in the Captain-of-the
Port office in Miami, Florida in 1955-56. Ensign Speranza [Jill's
brother Bernard] was assigned to the office during this period. He
announced one day that his sister Jill Corey was going to visit him.
After we asked, "WHO?," he brought in a copy of LIFE magazine
with Jill on the cover. He asked me if I would show her around the
area. I don't remember all the details, since this was over 50 years
ago! However, Jill and I went to the beach (I believe Crandon
Park), where I took three pictures of her. Jill then went on a trip
to Bermuda (I don't recall if her father went with her.), but I took another
picture of her and her father upon her return. |
