7/26/2012 UPDATE

Have not heard from any old "salts" for quite a while. I know that thousands were transported on her, and many served on board. Would be nice to hear from some of them.

The WWII bunch is probably thinned out pretty well, some Korea still around and many of the newer passengers are still here.

The old girl is gone, probably shaving with some of her metal on some mornings. Many good memories of the old "Mitch."

Look forward to hearing from some of you ............
