KINNEBREW Although this is a return to your ship for COMDESRON TWO, it is a first for me personally. It means a lot to me because I can remember. in Newport in the mid-50's, and in Charleston in the early 6O's, looking at MITSCHER from a small boy Ca 315 ft. DEQ and dreaming about being in a grand ship such as those beautiful. impressive DL's. . . I really walked around MITSCHER and saw your unique ship: the way she rides, handles, and berths you. I enjoy all this room and comfort. . . , I also am pleased to write to two former CO's of MITSCHER. Captain Scott and Captain Paramoor. and tell them of my accomplishment and distinction: fly my pennant aboard MITSCHER, and call myself a MITSCHERMANN --. ..,..g,4 ,N : aww..-5
