Hello John!
Thanks for the heads up about this. I need more information, I am not sure I was able to find what you are referring to. When you say "Please type white mouse and read the experiance of this lady" I tried typing in "Freedom Fighters WW2" under a Google search, then I found it, WW2 Heroine "The White Mouse" (named Nancy Wake) dies in London at age 98.

Is she the one you are talking about? Thanks for clarifying things. It sounds lile it would be very interesting to read about. Thanks again John and sorry for not understanding what you meant.

Thanks John, you too. I put that there in memory of one of our Volunteers, who was the RON39 Commanding Officer at its Commissioning, LCDR Russ Hamachek. He took his last patrol about 2 years ago. He was one of the PT658's original benefactors and WW2 restoration crewmen. He Skippered our boat when she was first relaunched back in 2005. I am happy to hear you were on one of those boats. Do you happen to have any photos showing yourself or LCDR Hamachek on any of the RON39 boats? I sure would like to see them and possibly get a copy.
Here are a couple of photos of Russ
