PT Dispatches from the 7th Fleet
http://www.ptboatforum.com/cgi-bin/MB2/netboardr.cgi?cid=101&fid=102&tid=2384
Hi all - just wanted to say that I had a recent trip to Maryland. My sisters and I went to DC. We were able to visit PT Boats member Earl Richmond - we had a great day with him. He has been having some eye trouble but is in great shape!! I met Earl through the PT Boats board so it was nice to meet him in person.[:-cheers-:]
We also went to the National Archives - I am forever in search of information on my uncle's boat, PT 300. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to come up with anything more than I already have. My sisters combed the photographic files of PT boats and saw many amazing pictures, but none of PT 300.[:-unhappy-:]
When looking for information on my father's time in the Navy I came across some dispatches from the 7th Fleet related to PT Boats. It is always wonderful to hold the actual piece of paper in your hands!! I made copies of the dispatches and planned on uploading them to the site, but can't figure out how to do it. I know you have to go thru the Photobuckets site, but it didn't work. Sorry - just not tech savy enough! Anyhoo - I could send them in a file to someone who knows how to post pictures. The dispatches do not have a great deal of information, but really cool anyway!!
Thanks!
Colleen

Please email the files to me, and I will see that they are posted. if they are already uploaded to Photobucket, let me know the album they were upload to and I'll get them from there.
Thanks,
