U. S. S. CASCADE MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE JUNE -NOVEMBER 1956 INTRODUCTION Newport and Fall River are separated by a very few miles, that is of course, if you don ' t include a 5 month cruise through the Mediterranean in between. With the docking at Fall River this round- about trip from Newport ended and with it came the curtain call to our 1956 Med. cruise. The youngsters had gained in world knowledge, the old timers added to it, but the fond memories, are the priceless possession of all hands. Long after the days of our voyage have fallen into nostalgic remembrance, and time brings proper perspective into focus, the petty gripes and inconveniences will be by-passed for the outstanding and cherished mem- ories. Wherever it may be, on another sea, at play, at a country home, or swinging on a porch, at any future time, thoughts will stray to this past experience. With this thought in mind, we of the cruise book staff devote our efforts, and dedicate this book, to you, our shipmates. We would also like to extend heart-felt gratitude to our wives, mothers and relatives who made this cruise with us, so to speak, in their devoted and lonely way. Wherever you men go, in a newly charted course, it is our wish that the opening of this book will be a revelation in helping you to find old friend- ships and experiences renewed in the spirit that they were lived.
