J' Probably you have all wondered why you d1dn't get this book before this. Well, the covers presented the chief difficulty. We placed the order in March with delivery promised in June or July. The covers finally were re- ceived in September and then they were the wrong size, so had to be remade all over again. We tried to get everybody's name and address in the book, but never re- ceived some of the information. As you may remember, the photographers were working on board ship under very difficult conditions using some Japanese film. We tried to use all the photos we could even though they were dark or blurred. That is why some of the pictures are not very clear. Some of the photos sent in were too small to be used. That is why there are no pictures of Paul Kraus, Kelly, John Harwood, and one or two others in the book. The picture Kmiec sent us turned black before we used it. Most of the write-ups were made by someone in your division. So don't blame the com ittee for anything said about you. Letters were written to Capt. Pahl, Capt. Wells, and Capt. Wilson ask- ing for information about themselves and for their photograph. Maybe the addresses were not very good because no reply was forthc who was attached to the Gunnery School at the Washington Capt. Wilson at Annapolisg but by that time the book was pleted, and no additional pictures could be used. Tom's assistance was greatly appreciated. Ensign Luckett, who ington, D.

Bob Jacob was transfered to the U. S. S. Simpson, CAGQVI, which was an old 4 stacker operating around Guantanamo. Lt. Cmdr. John Drew, the Exec , also received.his orders to a new 2200 ton DD on the West Coast. Lieut. Harvey Herrick, who took over as Exec, was ordered to the U.S.S. Robert H. Smith, CDHZSJ, after the Steve was finally decommissioned on April 27, 1946. The Captain was attached to staff of ComBatCruLant and spends quite a bit of time around Norfolk. Harvey was accepted as U.S.N. by the way, and on the strength of that, up and got hitched to his California gal.
