| | Midshipman Tolley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | Tolley was born in Manila’s Army hospital in 1908, when his father, Army Lieutenant Colonel Oscar Kemp "O.K." Tolley, was on his second tour of duty in the Philippines. |
 | | Kemp had spent most of his summers on the Little Gunpowder River near Monkton, swimming, fishing, canoeing, or doing something on the water, so he was delighted to see the midshipmen in cutters, some under sail, some being rowed. |
 | | Tolley and his brother youngsters shoveled coal in the fire rooms, swabbed decks, scrubbed the paint work, and did everything but mess cook, which was done by Filipinos who had accompanied them from the Academy. |
