Thanks for what seems like a yummy meal. This is a sure thing for the grill in the summer, so I have copied it down. I will show it to my wife in due time. I think if I give her one more recipe she might hit me with one of the cooking pans. Earl and CJ, keep the stories coming. CJ, what a great story on the cookies. Too bad they never made it so as you could eat them with the crew. Food from home along with letters must have made for a very happy combination for PT BOAT CREWS.
I have many original letters from Crewmembers sent home and from home to the Crewmembers. They all seem to contain the same thing, missing Mom's cooking, and missing Mom. Seems that Dad's took a back seat to most of the letters I have. Oh, they were mentioned, but more like a by the way, tell Dad I miss him too. Sister's were always mentioned by big brother who promised to send something to her, and that she must of course be good. How's my Dog doing, was another piece of information in these letters to home. So many menories for you guys. I bet that a letter from home was worth more then $100.00. I can only imagine how one felt when the letters were passed out and one did not get anything that day.............

Hey Earl, you won't believe it but my publisher finally printed the WWII Culinary History Book I wrote titled Bullets and Bread! - I used some of your stories and pictures. Check your email account - I'm sending you a regular email so that I can get your address to send you a copy.
Thank you so much! Oh, just finished a book on the USS Alabama for the battleship commission. Worked with the crew there for several months. They had one heck of an ice cream stand on the battleship. I told the curator that I had a buddy named Earl that would have loved to have cooked in their galley. The place is huge. The coffee pots were small hot tubs!
Thanks and check your regular email or message me here. - Kent Whitaker

This has been an amazing read. How great would it be for all those that were there to send their recipes to Frank to assemble a cook book of South Pacific PT Boat Meals & Snacks. And I love the idea of selling samples at the Exhibit.
