| Message | I am remembering some of the things I want to forget. Mid watch, quarterdeck Christmas dec25 1953. If I r ember it was cold on San Diego. We were moored to the the Piedmont. I have a pic that shows our girl all decked out for Christmas. Some once told me you only remember the good times. I swear I remember every import mid watch that I ever stood. The seamen in the gunnery/deck did not like to stand bow and ster watch when I was PO of the watch. I required them to stand the watch and not asleep in the paint locker or on the life jackets at the stern depth charge rack. One even accused me of being chicken s--t. I had the crow stripes and was responsible for the safety and security of the ship. Accepting responsibility was one of the reasons I made 1st class in less than 4 years and the stay Seaman |

| 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. |
