| Message | Merlin Carr posted a note on Facebook message this morning noting that Bob Ellis passed away in his sleep this Thursday night. Bob meant so much to all of us Spangler Mates. It’s extremely sad knowing that we won’t be able to visit with him any longer. Our sympathy and prayers are extended to Millie and family. Bob was a Sonarman 2nd class aboard the USS Spangler DE696 from 1949 to 1952. |

| Message | Thanks, Jim, always enjoy reading your entries. they play a big part in keeping the Spangler website alive. I "hated" not being able to include the decklogs with the move to the new site, but the work involved would have been too demanding. I moved to the new site for two reasons: one to do away with the annual cost in keeping the previous website up and running on the internet; and second to assure that photographs, seatales and etc. would remain available for viewing for years to come, hopefully, without need for my involvement. Like you I enjoyed browsing the decklogs and will continue to seek some way of getting them reposted. Thanks for your feedback! |

| Message | Where have all our shipmates gone. In my dotage (85+) I have time to reflect on many of my old shipmates. I read several sites on our Navy, DESA, Tin Can sailors plus others. When the writer refers to RTCSan Diego in the 70’s I really feel old. I still maintain contact with couple of them. Most of my oldship mates have made the last voyage. WayneI want to thank for all the time and effort that you have put forth in maintaining this site. Your efforts have meant a lot to me. (Thanks for the memories.) |
