Marty, make sure he emails Jay Brown for a crew list. If he doesn't do computers, then you should email Jay for him. Jay just joined this forum or you can visit my web site for his email address!

Hello Marty,
I could be wrong, but I don't recall seeing your father's name on our Washtenaw County Association crew list, but I haven't seen the latest list. You and your father are welcome to join the association and attend our reunions! Bring the family and make a vacation out of it. We have several members from his era of service aboard ship. Visit http://lst1166.com for association and reunion information, and hope to see you in Santa Fe this year! Bob (LST-1166 1968-1970)
