[StartQuote] Dick, It is extremely interesting to me, about the Training site in Melville. My Dad use to speak of it quite often with his Veteran buddies, but I paid little attention at the time. It is amazing to me, that when you really miss someone you love and is very very special to you like my father was to me; how much you become interested in his life and what he went through. I am at that stage now. My father served on the 221 boat and has been gone for 15 years now. I am very interested now, as if it was a hobby, almost an obsession, as to his life with the PT Boats. After reading your post, I am seriously considering taking my August vacation and driving from Toledo,Ohio where I live, and going to Melville, to see the Training site. Can you or anyone tell me if it is still possible to drive through or walk through the site(base), or is it a secured area and fenced off? Also, would it be worth the trip, as far as taking photos of the remaining structures and area? Greg [EndQuote]
