[StartQuote] Charlie and Frank: Thanks both for the input. Please refer to an article at: http://www.semp.us/publications/biot_reader.php?BiotID=692 for a photo of both Specht and Walsh, with the following caption: "Commander David Walsh (right) in charge of the Base, and Lt. Cmdr. William Specht who organized the U.S. Navy Motor Torpedo Boat Squadrons Base Training Center, Melville, Rhode Island, World War II." I have re-examined my document and find that the Order is a bit less specific than I at first thought. It orders a man to report to the Commanding Officer of the MTBSTC and the !st Endorcement, located at the bottom to show that the man actually did report as ordered, was typed as being "From: Commanding Officer" and then was signed by D.J. Walsh. Perhaps 1- the photo caption is simply wrong, and 2- Walsh was simply signing FOR Specht, as his XO. Charlie, I can scan and send the document if you please provide your e-mail. I have no luck in posting photos here. Allan [EndQuote]
