Her goal is to preserve a place in history for Mare Island, with stories of those who will forever remain on Mare Island. Joyce Giles (co-author) lives in Vallejo, California, a former employee of Mare Island Naval Shipyard, and long time volunteer with Mare Island Historic Park Foundation as tour guide, docent, and manager of Mare Island Museum.
