HALF WAY HOME! Back in Mayport, the ship ' s wives and families got together at the Jackson- ville Zoo and had a picnic. A video tape of the picnic was made and sent to the ship, along with all sorts of baked goodies. Onboard DALE, a celebration was held on the messdecks, and gifts from home were distributed to the crew. The crew also made a video tape for the wives and families and sent it home.
