| Message | Thank you so much for the wonderful website! I am Donald Spangler's great-niece and have heard many stories about Donald from my grandfather, Walt Spangler, Donald Spangler's brother. My grandfather would be very happy to know that a website has been put up in memory of the Spangler. He was very proud of Donald and the country Donald served. Thank you all for your service and love for your country and it's people! We owe you all an infinite amount of gratitude. |

How fascinating to learn more about the ship and those who served on her. Thank you to whomever put this together. God Bless America! Sincerely, Jeannie Spangler Kesler |

| Message | Greetings! I am Donald H. Spangler's nephew. I enjoyed reading the history of the ship that was named after my uncle. I forwarded the e-mail you sent me on to my uncle, Robert K. Spangler. He is Donald's younger brother. I'm sure that he will enjoy your website very much. My father, Walter B. Spangler, was Donald's older brother. Dad passed away in November 2002. Regards, Jeff Spangler |

| Message | Hi Wayne, GREAT JOB and wonderful present to all those who spent time growing up on the Spangler also known during my tenure as The Galloping Ghost of the California Coast. I have fond memories of 2and 1/2 years (1952-1954) as a member of the Sonar Team. I hope the project which you have begun will motivate each of us who served on this fine ship to dig into our memory banks to send you our accounts of life aboard our home away from home. Regards, Bob Hunter a.k.a. Sam |

| Message | Hi, 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.

| Message | Great 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. |
