CJ, That must have been quite an experience sitting at your old station after all these years. I can't imagine the thoughts that were going through your mind. I agree with you. It's a wonderful boat. I would really love to see her sometime.

Garth, giving Ted a ride to Moms after he parked under a bridge again isn't much of a name-drop...

David: One of my thoughts was "Thank God there are no tracers coming back my way" also I needed a pair of binoculars to be scanning the shore line for barges.

Jerry; The boat looks great, especially with C.J. onboard!! I am sure Maury, Frank, enjoyed themselves too, Higgins PT's were very well represented there! Pphayne I am sure enjoyed riding the boat instead of fixing it as he used to at base 16. I am also sure Rolf enjoyed seeing and riding on the box his PT 127 came in!! Just Kidding!!
I know a great time was had by all!!!
The MK 50 rocket launchers turned out to look fantastic!!! Bravo Zulu to your metalsmiths!
You and the 658 crew are really doing an extremely honorable deed for these men, I salute you MMC and your crew. I only wish I can do the same type of thing here on the East Coast with a boat we have talked about...........maybe someday.
Take care,
TED

CJ, those are just the kinds of thoughts I would have expected. It really brought a smile to my face to read your reply.
Take care
