You're very welcom, Jeff...my pleasure. Since I could not figure out how to include photos in my postings here, I sent a few pix to Jerry Gilmartin at his work email address. I live in Tennessee now and I doubt I'll ever get back to Portland to tour and ride the 658...bummer! Best wishes.

Ahoy, Sully!
I'd sure like to establish contact via
email so we could really share notes
about the 107 boat and her crew.
Seems as I recall last time we
exchanged emails, you were living
in Indiana....are you in Arizona now?
My email address is f6f5k@yahoo.com
or patron46.radio@yahoo.com.
Have given some thought to writing
a history of the 107 boat...from Melville
to her tragic loss along with an Elco
77-footer due to a fire after refueling.
Please contact me via email, Sully.
Best wishes,

Sometimes it's a small world, glad you two met.
Bob, if you don't mind could you send the images to me too? I'd love to see them. If you can, just click the envelope icon next to the "Posted on: Dec 9, 2013 - 8:58am" text above this message.

Robert;
Here is another view of CDR Henry Farrow(this is from Gene Kirklands website: http://pt-king.gdinc.com), RON 5 CO. To me this guy does not look like the portly looking gent on the bow of PT 107, in the photo I posted earlier.
Take care,
TED
