UNITED STATES MARKNE CORPS , a RECF-IUETING SUESSTATION PosT OFFICE auzmme MARQUETTE, Mncz-1 57133 39gX423 Mfuimigj S-. lg, in REPLI REFER TO RDSfrds l9 November 196k LCDR Fred R. Ellis Public Information Officer UUS. Atlantic Fleet U.SQ Naval Amphibious Base Norfolk ZO, Virginia Dear Mr. Ellis, The Great Lakes cruise of the De Soto County is goneg but it is certainly not forgottena The citizens and community of Marquette, Michigan are still talking about it. I might add that all comments are of the favorable variety. T Many people still ask me when the ship will again make a cruise to Marquette. The cruise most definitely increased public relations and gave the people of Marquette and surrounding communities a far better knowledge of the Navy and Marine Corps Team, its! abilities and capabilitiesa Recruiting as such was not effected immediately following the cruise, although at the present time it seems to be increasing considerably. Through interviews with the applicants, many of them were greatly influenced by the De Soto County visiting this areaa I believe the l2 to lo age group were effected more than the l7 to 25 groupe Howevers this will enhance recruiting . within the next year or twoa This visit has stimulated a keen interest in these young people and it seems very probable that they will follow through in a few yearse Many questions have been asked pertaining to Navy and Marine Corps and we have answered by the recruitersa ' The college group was also effected, due to the fact many have been inouiring as to officer programs both Navy and Marine Corpse Flying seems to be the big interest with these mens All in all the Great lakes cruise was highly successful in this area, I am very Sure another in future years would be equally welcomed by Marquette. It has been my great pleasure to be a part of the cruise and to offer my small contribution to its' successo Respectfully yours? ' , ,-zfilagf 15225 ROBERT D, SCOTT SGT USMC
