MessageHello! My grandfather, WT Reese, served on the Spangler from 1943 to 1945. I just found a scrapbook he made during those years. I wish I knew more; unfortunately, he is no longer around to share stories. He passed away when I was young and I never had a chance to ask about his service. I do have several photos that I would love to share and maybe even learn more about. How can I do that?

I also want to thank all who served on this fine ship with my Nandaddy and after him for all you have done to protect freedom. Our country is truly blessed thanks on part to our veterans!

MessageIn searching through obituaries for Santa Maria, CA, Don Cooper's hometown, I found that Don passed away on March 29, 2014. A Remembrance Page is posted on the website.

MessageIn a phone conversation with Dave Norris the other evening, he mentioned that Don Cooper passed away this past April or May but wasn't sure about the date. If anyone has more information, please let me know at [email protected]

Don, as I'm sure most of you know, was a plank owner and absolute delight to visit with. I could sit for hours listening to him and Ken Nolan talk about their experiences when the Spangler was commissioned and during the war. I know I can speak for everyone in saying he will be dearly missed.

I'd love to hear from anybody who remembers him. if anybody has any photos,or stories, or the like, a copy would be appreciated.

When and where is the next Spangler Reunion? I'd love to attend if possible.

MessageJust checking in to see if Jim Raymond is arround. We were in boot camp together and then served on th Spangler together 1946 to 1948. I really enjoyed looking at all the pictures you sent in. In fact, I think I may have been behind the camera in some of those on the beach on Okinawa. Give me a hello if you are still arround. Hope every thing is well with you.
