Why don't you send me an email at tylermink at aol.com. I can send files there much easier.

I have a photo from just after the war of 12 gentlemen captioned "The Concords" but I'm not sure what it's supposed to be. From what I can tell, there wasn't a boat in Ron 15 called the Concord, and 527 was the "Stork Club." I do have photos of my grandfather and some older friends sometime probably in the 1980s wearing "PT-527" ball caps. I don't know about any other reunions he went to, and I've never found the ball cap.
Aside from his two photo albums (mostly of the Philippines and Borneo), I have a "whiskey painting" of 527, in three small views. Signatures of several (presumably) crewmen around the whole thing.
From Fold3 I found some mission reports, and from squadron diaries I have pretty much all the movements of 527 during the war.

I have a photo from just after the war of 12 gentlemen in civilian clothes captioned "The Concords" but I'm not sure what it's supposed to be. From what I can tell, there wasn't a boat in Ron 15 called the Concord, and 527 was nicknamed "Stork Club." I do have photos of my grandfather and some older friends (sometime probably in the 1980s) wearing "PT-527" ball caps. I don't know about any other reunions he went to.
I do also have a "whiskey painting" of PT 527. It's three small watercolor paintings of the boat, with (presumably) crew member signatures beneath. George Mullen does not appear to be one of the signatures.
