TO THE OFFICERS AND MEN Memories are a part of every man's existence. Navy men in particular have memories of many far away places and old friendships. This cruise book will be a record of the memories of the Owens in far away places with many old friends in the summer of 1961. l am sure that you will glance through these pages often in future years, as I know I will, and recall the won- derful times in the Mediterranean, and the many familiar shipmates on the Owens.
