Is anyone familiar with where to find the Skeeter Newsletter either in digital format or in an archives? Looking for December 1944-July 1945 copies. Thanks!

Tim I have several original ones, but they are put into mylar protectors. The paper used back then is not very fragile and I do not dare try and remove them. This is one that I tried to scan for you from March of 1944. Best I can do

Thanks Frank, so cool! I love that they had a newspaper, MTBSTC was truly it's own city. Are you aware of how the paper was managed? Was it a volunteer hobby so to speak or was it someone's actual job while in the Navy?

Tim, I have some xerox copies of the Skeeter. When I get home next week, I'll check what copies I have.

Great, thanks! I'm specifically looking for July 43-Sept 43 when my grandfather was training and for December 1944-July 1945 when he was an instructor with Ron 4.
