Earl;
Thanks for your photos, I have a million questions but I am trying for a meet and greet in maybe April or May at your VFW.
We will work it out.
Take care,
TED

HI GIRLS AND GUYS,
HERE ARE A FEW MORE PICTURES FROM EARL'S SCRAPBOOK.
A PHOTO OF THE CEMENT PIER AT ORMOC, LOOKING BACK TOWARD TOWN.
ANOTHER VIEW OF THE TOWN. SORRY THAT I CUT OFF THE CAPTIONS ON THE PHOTO. ON THE RIGHT IT POINTS TO THE 'OLD CHURCH' AND THE LEFT TO THE 'GALLEY'.
THIS ORMOC, 1945. CAPTION SAYS 'RON 12, PT 27'. THE BOAT ON THE LEFT LOOKS LIKE 146 TO ME.
USS OYSTER BAY, 'THE MOTHER SHIP'. LOOKS LIKE PT'S 144. 340, 342 341 FROM LEFT TO RIGHT.
THANKS TO NAT SMITH FOR ENLARGING A LOT OF THESE PHOTOS SOME YEARS BACK.
Steve |

Wonderful new photo of the USS Oyster Bay. Its new to me, anyway, and would have been a great reference photo for my 1/350 scale diorama.
Thank you for posting Earl's photos! Is it too, late to thank him for these?
I hope that he has seen my model of the tender.

The second to last photo...
Wasn't PT-27 a Ron 1 boat?
Could it be that the boat pictured is the 127 boat? If the boat to the left is the 146 that might square with my father's memory, and the war diaries, because the 127 and 146 frequently patrolled together.
