LETTER FROM THE EDITOR - To the readers and viewers of this publication, I would like you to be aware of the tremendous efforts that went into its pro- duction. From its initial conception so many months ago through its final packaging in my garage to be mailed to the printer, no other such publication that I have worked on in the past has had so much positive support from the command, the crew, and the many others that have been a part of the NORTON SOUND family. The idea to preserve a lasting memory has been the focus for this work. Even though it has passed through many hands, that goal has remained in the forefront of all who have helped. I hope that the heart that was put into it is felt as you view it long after your association with this fine lady - USS NORTON SOUND. I was originally asked to be a part of the HDECOM BOOKN com- mittee as a technical advisor. As some of you may know me, I couldn't just advise. 'I soon found myself involved and committed to this publication. I honestly believe that it is a project worth maximum input. When coordinating a Hplaceu to do the lay- out work, I volunteered my garage. When keeping the project going and growing, I needed help. ' LTJG TAVERNA did most of the financial wizardry and negoti- ating with the publisher and the Welfare 8 Recreation people to try and keep the-ultimate costs down. IShe also acted as a go- between for me while I was no longer assigned to the ship. LCDR SPERBERG, the XO, was a primary Hdriving forceu, parti- cularly near the decommissioning. Even after the ceremony he continued direct support with photo development and enlargements for some of the layouts. .Sox as editor, I will take the blame for crooked, misspelled, or inaqurately typed words that you may have found. However, I refuse to publish a Hchange onen to correct any of them. You've got to make your own Hpen and inku changes! I want to personally thank those listed on the facing page for their efforts in putting this together. Your hands were welcome help leven stickyll. I could not possibly list all of you who donated photos, I don't even know who all did, but I im- agine that some of yours showed up within these pages. If not, contact the NORTON SOUND ASSOCIATION, they kept the remains and leftovers. . Again, I have Certainly enjoyed being a part of this as my final NORTON SOUND project, even if I,did end up with more than I bargained for. I only hope you enjoy it as much as I, QSMu2Lq w5'ugg
