Hi Guys. I haven't posted on here for quite some time. I have been under the weather for about 3 months lost some of my eyesight, some of my hearing and some of my memory. Though I still remember riding 13 months on PT 242. I have kept in contact with most of my crew members. We lost Trosclair last summer so I think I am the only one left. Has anyone heard from Earl lately?

It is good to hear from you C. J., sorry to hear about your problems and I hope that you are feeling better. Earl posted a few days ago on Frank's facebook page about some of the routine you guys did "behind the scenes" like vermin control. Spray bomb the boat with hatches closed, wait a while, then open the hatches and sweep whatever crawled out overboard much to the delight of the fishes. I really enjoy stories like this.

So happy to hear from you CJ. If you ever wish to talk with Earl, please head over to facebook and click on my page, The Mosquito Fleet Exhibit. Earl is doing pretty well these days. Glad to hear you have made it past your illness.
