Junior Licensed Engineer Anthony F. Rieber
Anthony "Tony" F. Rieber--at age 77--assuming duties
as a Junior Licensed Engineer on board USNS General Maurice
Rose (T-AP-126) circa mid-1966. He is posing with an engine
order telegraph.
Rieber was one of many who came out of retirement to fill a shortage
of licensed personnel in the Military Sea Transportation Service
during the Vietnam War buildup. Rieber probably served on the
ship's second Pacific deployment, which began in September 1966.
