From 1937 to that fateful day in 1941 my parents, Leonard N. “Skipper” Steimle and Margery Pearl Minnoch Steimle organized and operated a seamanship camp during the summers at a mansion called Twin Palms on the Balboa Peninsula in Southern California.

If you were ever there as a member of the crew or a visitor please contact me lsteimle@altrionet.com
