In this photo, sent by von BÜLOW to Sharkhunters, he and his
Obersteuermann enjoy cigars as their boat U-404, returns
to port after another successful mission.
At our Sharkhunters 'Northern
Germany Patrol' a few years ago, OTTO von BÜLOW is at
left, USMC Vietnam combat veteran BILL NAPIER (2290-C/LIFE-1992)
is in center, and Kapitän zur See Otto von Bülow Jr. is at the right.
Later Kapitän zS von BÜLOW pushed several Members aside to sit
next to KAY COOPER (161-LIFE-1986), telling her that she was the;
"Lovliest blossom on the most beautiful rose
in all Germany."
Yes, Kapitän zS von BÜLOW was a gentleman of the highest order,
and he was a very strong supporter of Sharkhunters.
