[StartQuote] Hi, Just wanted to let you know that I am still around. I have not been sick or inundated with other Email. Just trying to keep up with Income Tax filing, birthdays, easter and forthcoming Mothers Day I viewed the picture that you sent and although a couple of the other officers appear familiar, I don't recall the names. I believe that the officer to the right of your father was William Carter or Carver, a lawyer from someplace in New Jersey. He was a little bit older than most of the other officers. I don't believe that he was an original and that we picked him up somewhere along the way. He was mostly a base officer but he did temporarily serve as the skipper on the PT154 after the Nov. 1943 incident. I am not too sure on the details. We had several along the way until I left the squadron in June 1944. For what it is worth, I thought most of the officers came from the New England states because they were experienced in boat sailing and sailing their own boat . They also appreciated the freedom of serving on PT Boats where they were far removed from the rigor and discipline of serving on a cruiser or a battleship. In our time, we berthed next to some of them and I thought the crew members, (not necessarily the officers) were somewhat envious of our looseness and our freedom. I am sure that you have seen enough pictures in which there is no uniform dress. Nat, you really have me reminiscing. I am not objecting but my wife wants to know what I am doing so much on the computer. [EndQuote]
