DESCRIPTION: The accession is the first accession of the Robert  
Raymond Hessler Papers. The accession consists of correspondence,

Hessler both before and after their marriage in 1954. Many of Hessler's  
letters to his wife were written when he was at sea and describe his  
oceanographic research. The accession also includes letters exchanged  
by Hessler and his college friends, notably Frank E. Rutkowski and  
Andy G. Oldenquist and Minda Rae Sensibar. The accession includes  
subject files and proposals which describe Hessler's work and research  
interests. A folder entitled "Travel La Jolla Expedition, 1968" describes  
Hessler’s recruitment and appointment at SIO.
