PT Headquarters used to maintain a squadron roster which listed all the personnel who served in that squadron. They may have had similar lists for mother ships (AGP"s) and PT bases. The lists may have been given out to those members who were in good standing and who responded to their requests for information. They also had state rosters that listed the members by the state where they came from. I do not know of the current availability of such rosters. There are PT Boaters currently active who served as volunteer historians and maintained all sorts of records that are active on this message board. Send in the info that you have on name, rank or rating, squadron number, time of service and what have you and see what kind of response you get.
