Has anyone been on the USS Leyden lately

You give me too much credit. Why is it that I can remember stuff like this but sometimes I go to the grocery store and completely forgot what I went there for?

You'll remember as soon as the grocery store sinks!

. . . I am a rank amateur next to some of the oldtimers in this game, like Bill Carter and Brad Luther( and they did it without the benefit of the fantastic electronics we have today).

Maybe . . . but I wouldn't want to play Wreck Jeopardy against you!

. . . .6 days to Truk John!

Be Safe,

Dennis

PS:

John,

If you or anyone that you know happens to be on the Crane and Barge off of Getty and comes across a SS hook, I lost one there last Saturday. Long story and not enough time to elaborate . . . but I would greatly appreciate it back. More sentimental value than cash as I have 2 others. I just don't think I'll have the time to run out there before the winter sets in.

Thanks

You are going to go nuts when you get there. Do you have a copy of "Operation Hailstorm" (I forgot the author) or Dan Bailey's book? If you can, get a hold of a copy of either as they are very descriptive of what you can see and where. Are you overnighting in Honolulu or Guam? It will be one or the other. If you overnight in Honolulu you willl have time to visit the Arizona the next day as Air Mike doesn't leave until 3:00 PM.

If I dive it before winter I will check it out for you. I can also put the word out to Dave at OSS.

Going; we leave from Boston with an overnight in Houston, then to Honolulu. We are in Honolulu for only a few hours, then off to Guam for a few hour layover and then to Yap. On the way back we have an overnight in Honolulu. I am looking forward to visiting the Arizona memorial then.

When you get back, I want you to send me an email and tell me whethor you think the long flight was worth it. I know the answer, I just want to hear you say it.
