The SS Laguardia left New York on May 30, 1950, for a month-long trip to the Mediterranean under the command of Capt. Hugh L. Switzer.
About a week before it returned to New York, Mrs. Gertrude Segelman of Spring Valley, NY, gave birth to a baby boy with the help of the ship’s surgeon, Dr. Roy Littlehale.
The baby was named Roy Hugh, after both the doctor and the captain.
