[StartQuote] Thank you very much for the kind words, being a simple ship builder, you spend a great deal of time questioning your work. Being from a military family, I am a retired veteran, my father was WW2 veteran, I hold a special place for the Greatest generation. Being from the “unconventional” side of the military I was fascinated by the PTs & crews, professionally proud, but their usual surroundings were for the lack of better words (not being Navy) not the pressed, shined, spotless tablecloth environment. Like submariners they were small close nit crews. When I started this build the only thing, I knew about PTs was fast wood boats with guns. But there was something special here that I wanted to learn more about, as Jeff D told me “once your bitten, you’re hooked” The folks on this site, along with Jeff and Franks site have be really great, without there support and advise I would not my bow from my a—aft. I am nowhere near being excepted to the PTNUTS Club, but I am working on it. I will say I’m now all in doing my part to help preserve the history of the PTs and the special men who survived on them, plus the support crews who kept them in the fight. Again thanks [EndQuote]
