| Message | I got to thinking about age and my time on our ship. I went aboard in Nov. 1950. I was a green kid from S. Ga, spent my entire enlistment on board. Discharged May 1954 as an RD 1. Made a lots of long time friends and exchange Christmas cards and occasional phone call with a couple of them. My heart still remains blue and gold. Sometime I read the ships log, look at the slide shows, it brings back memories of my youth. I am 84 years old and apart from my family, memories are about all I have. I am not in the best of health, sins of my youth. To all of my Spangler mares I wish you a very Merry Christmas an a Happy new year. To our web master a Hardy thanks from one scope dope to another for this site of memories. May the Lord bless and keep each and every one of you and may you have smooth and following seas for the rest of your life's vowage |

| Message | Hi Bruce, wonderful hearing from you. We have photos on the website from at least six servicemen that served aboard the ship during WWII. Visit the Picture Albums in the Photo Gallery and see the photos from Eugene Fribis, Edward F. Hayes, Ralph D. Wilkinson and Ken Nolan. Also, in the Memoirs section you can find pictues posted by Lt. David R. Rehmeyer, Ted Smith, Lt. Guy Thompson and William (Bill) Irwin. Hope you find your dad in their someplace. Do you have any from his time aboard the Spangler you can share with us. |

| Message | Hi folks. My dad WB Hembree was a plank owner in 43. Any chance there are some pictures of the crew on-board I might be able to look through to see if he is visible? |

| Message | Does anyone working with your site know if you have the video showing about ten seconds of your ship in choppy seas? It also has DD 702 making a high-line transfer and taking on fuel from an oiler I guess. If not, let me know and I will get it to you free. I didn't see it on the site. [email protected] |

| Message | Just browsed the 1957 Cruise book and came across my picture on page 8. I'm the guy in the bosun's chair. Thanks for taking care me, Spangler. The commodore loved to use me as an excuse to give his ships highline drill on Sunday mornings. Sorry, guys. Chaplain Warner Hutchinson, ComCortRon 3 |

| Message | Except for the Guestbook, not much to print lately. Sad to say! The Spangler world has gone quite. On the other hand, some news we would rather not have to print. |
