MessageHi, Wayne:
I'm very glad to see someone doing this.
I was in Spangler from June, '54 to Sept., '57.
I've had contact with maybe five or six of my ship mates in the last 50 years, and that's way too long. I'm hoping something like this might improve that situation.
I like the way the site looks and I'll check it every day, hoping to find something ftom someone I know in the guest book or anywhere on the page.Thanks for your effort. Stick with it, Bud.

MessageGreat job, Wayne! I joined the ship at the 32nd Sreet Naval Station about a week after it returned from the 1957 WestPac cruise. As a very green Ensign, I was envious after hearing all the sea stories. I was on board until the decommisioning at Astoria in 1958. Fond memories.

You have done a very nice job and when finished I would like to view it again. I was in the Navy with Gerald Urlaub aboard the USS Mispillion AO-105. He sent this to me. Keep up the good work and I know it is alot of work.

Messagesmilie Your site is very well put together. I always say the Cans are the backbone of the Navy. Thanks to all of you for your service.
I was aboard the USS Mispillion AO-105 and am sure we served you. Hope we never spilled any oil on you. Have fun at your reunion. Clyde
