[StartQuote] Welcome to the forum John, I'm currently reading your book and enjoying it. I'm taking it to lunch and reading a chapter at a time. Poor Dick and Jerry are just going to cringe when I ask this question. I'm a modeler with an over active passion for detail. I'm curious about when the boat was painted green and if you found some actual documentation that confirmed the boat was changed to green before Kennedy took command. I had a conversation with Dick Keresey shipper of PT-105 and both he and subsequent skipper John Iles both told me that their boat was grey which would have taken it to well past the time when Kennedy took command of the 109. I also appreciate that the 109 and 110 boats arrived in theatre earlier than the 105 and had a different history. We have good evidence that the 109 was in fact painted green from color photographs provided by one of JFK's fellow skipper and friend. It may be impossible to know when but I just have to ask if you happened to come across any official documentation that caused you to believe it was painted earlier. Thanks for your time and thanks for writing the book. I look forward to reading it every day. Dave David Waples[EndQuote]
