Another Crew Member Heard From

Good Afternoon,

I don't know if you are still updating your web-site on the Mitchell but if you are I want to let you know that I too served aboard the Mitchell. I was sent there in early 1965 and did a number of cruises to Hawaii then to Yokohama Japan, to Okinawa (or however you spell that). From there we would go to either Inchon Korea or Keelung Taiwan. Then back to Yokohama, to Hawaii and back to Oakland. I think I made that trip 5 or 6 time before we finally took her on her final cruise. I was one of the last crew members.

I pulled her up on the net a few months ago and had heard she was now scrap but I just hoped she wasn't, but sadly she is.

I would have loved to be able to go aboard once again and look her over, but it won't happen.

Just thought I'd add my 10 cents worth. Keep up the good work.
