| Message | Thanks Jim! The website has become my "digital" child, so to speak. And when it comes to actually closing it down, I doubt I can give it up anytime soon. I think about it, but doing it is something else. |

| Message | I want to personally thank you for all of the time and effort that you have put into this web site. As I said previously it appears that only 3 of us read and or comment. It is sad to,see it go by the way side but all good things come to an end sooner or later. Along the way it enabled me to keep up with "old" friends of my youth. I exchange Christmas cards with some and an occasional phone call with others. You and I have even had a couple of phone conversations. It has always been a pleasure to converse with some one that spent time on the SURadar and the DRT. May the good Lord bless and keep you and your family. |

| Message | Possibly that's what the starter page for the Spangler website should read : "Repent, the end is near!" I'm hoping a whole lot more folks visit the site than sign the guestbook. Otherwise one has to wonder if it's worth continuing with the site. The starter page shows 15741 visitors. I'll have to check next week to see if that number changes. |

| Message | There were these two evangel preachers that had churche just across the road from each other in Cajun country, just down the road was the river bridge crossing. One day a Cajun redneck came roaring down the road in his hot rod. As he went past the preachers he gave them the finger and made some obscene remark about the preachers sign."repent, the end is near". Shortly after the Cajun redneck roared by, there was a loud noise. One preacher looked at the other and remarked, "maybe we should have just said, the bridge is out." |

| Message | When it comes to the Golden Years as you described remember that those who serve usually stand and wait. Where I grew up it was called the old manS disease. |

| Message | Jim, Gee Whiz Jim there are still a bunch of us around shipmates like Brenner, Moody, Goes, Ellis, Bliss, Carr Workman, Wessler, Baum, Moberg, Fangang, Clugston, Majeski, Stephens and Sims to name a few guy who served when we did. There are many more whose names escape me. Then there are the ones who came before we did and the ones like Wayne that came after. We still have many Spanglermates but you are correct in saying our numbers are fewer and fewer. It is also true that the saying we are in our golden years. truth is "Golden Years/Age" means mostly that the only thing really golden about the golden age is our pee. Bob |

| Message | I guess our Group has seen its better days. No postings for a couple of months and very llittle for several months prior. I hate to say it but it looks as tho time has caught up with us and we have hadI our final voyage. I went aboard our ship in Nov. 1950. I had just turned 17. I have told many of my friends that I went aboard as a teenager, stayed aboard for 3.5. Years and left as a man. I grew up on the Spangler and am proud to say that I Was a member of the U.S. Navy fo 3 years 9 months 9 day2hours and 27 minutes. I am still blue and gold, proud to have surged on board US Spangler in the United States Navy. I remember a lot of the people, both enlisted and commissioned, that I served with. A number have gone to their final resting place, but in my heart and memory they live on. Mat God bless all of you that served before, with and after me. |
