Earl: Thanks for getting back to me with your input. You are so right that there are not many of us old timers on the message board left to tell the stories we encountered while riding the boats in WW11. Like you mention we have our memories and really our memories are the only thing no one can take from us. I too miss the stories and stuff we used to discuss. I wish more old timers that were on the boats would tell their tales. We will have to just depend on the splinters and modelers to keep this PT thing going. Earl, I know it is and has been a very difficult time for you in your life. I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Just hang in there my good friend.

Earl
If this happens, I am sure we will all miss you very much. It saddens me to think you might be giving up the message board. After all, this was started for guys like you. Rest assured that I will always do my best to keep the history of the PT BOATS in the public eye, as I am sure the others here will do the same thing.

Browsers have a setting to enlarge the text on the screen.
A few clicks and you can greatly enlarge the print.
On Firefox it is down from the View menu to Zoom to Zoom in.
