Admiral Nimitz Signs Photos in Fredericksburg Visit

Admiral Chester Nimitz autographed enlarged photos for his uncle, County Judge Henry Hirsch, during a Fredericksburg reception last Saturday. The images depict him signing peace terms as U S representative after Japan's surrender on August 14, the event recalling his boyhood days at the East Main Street stone house where he was born in 1885.
