[StartQuote] guess it is my turn. first,russ became a good frienf of mine through this message board.i am thankful for this board allowing me to voice my opinions.right or wrong.i am always open to correction and/or critism.i am "getting on",have bad eyesight and mempry slipping a l;ittle.i ,when i can remember it,try to pass on some of my memories of ww2 and my pt boat servivce.as has been said,not many of us left now to do this so any little bit of information we can pass on to others helps the present and future generations to remember us.whether it is text,modeling or photos this is the only thing we can do now.it takes ALL of us to keep the memory of pt boats in ww2 alive.i have been critized at times too but i let it slide as it has not been personal critisism.believe me if it was persoinal i would have let it be known directly to that person but not through this board.we ALL have a right to our opinions.russ IS a good friend of mine and i restect him and his opinions.if he feels he has been wronged he has a right to say so and the other party also has a right to speak up for himself.BUT NOT THROUGH THIS MERSSAGE BOARD>this can be done directly through e mails person to person.when both parties have expressed themselves to each other then the matter should be FINISHED and they should remain friends.this board was intended for pt boat veterans to cite their memories of the boaters aand their experiences in ww2.now that there are so few of uis laft the friends,modeleers,writers and rerlatives help to contribute to us and the past by what they do.when we original pt boaters have gone on our last patrols it will only leave them to carry on for us.i am not a modeler,writer,etc so i am not "into"the details as much as they are.i read some of it and enjoy the stories and photos.but that,s it.i was actuallyon"a pt boat as crewman so i don,t have to have all of this to tell me about it.that is for those who were not there too hwelp them remember and see a pt boat.sorry for this long winded post but we ALL have a part of this discussion.russ ,i am grateful that you are my friend and michael thanks ofor your comments to back him up.we ALL have tyoo much at stake here to "mess it up".russ i ask you and anyone involved to "patch it up".stay on the board and continue to give us all the info you can remember.averyone remember that there is a little word called delete that can be used if you don,t want to read something.it is better to jhust delete and leave it at that.i don,t mind.my eyes are getting worse now and may not be too long before i can,t read message at all so i do appreciate what i can see now even though i mighht not like some of it. PEACE p/s two areas on the board might be a good idea.burt there are not going to be many messages on the vets side as there are not many of us left russ you can send me anything you want.if i don,t like it i will just delete it.we spoke of this before myt friend and fellow pt boater earl now if anyone wants to tell me to SHUT UP.go ahead,i wont mind.i will jusrt delete it earl richmond[EndQuote]
