Thanks for asking Richard. The dates for Pensacola are October 29th through November 1, 2013. Complete information and registration forms were included in the Spring 2013 Towline which was recently mailed to all Active Members whose names appear on the Website. Ted Hillman, President, is contacting directors for the mid-year directors meeting. The last I heard it was scheduled for May 17th in Tampa. Contact Ted for details. Hope to see you in Pensacola.

I have written a book on the USS Tawakoni ATF-114 and the auxiliary fleet in war time. It should be published by the end of the year.

Hey folks, I am looking forward to the Portland reunion, USS Navajo (ATA-211)1957-1961 time frame.
My father, Arthur Lemley, served on the Apache during WWII as an electrician’s mate. I sure wish I had known when your reunion was in Portland this year. I live just across the Columbia River in Vancouver. I have letters he wrote while on the Apache and will be glad to provide copies for anyone who wants them. Also, my father kept a journal that I can copy. Is anyone in this group who was on the Apache during WWII? If they have old letters I would certainly like to have copies.
Thanks,
John Lemley
