Does anyone have any information on the Packard Marine Engine School? When it was formed, when it was disestablished, how many service members attended, length of the course, and so on? Many thanks.

Probably Charlie Jones would know, him or Frank Andruss.

Gene;
Here is a photo I found for you. This is a class from 1941, so "maybe" one of these Ensigns shown here is A. Murray Preston(he did go to the school that year in between PTC RON 1 and being transferred to RON 1).
Take care,
