Words that are certain ,to attract ,attention aboard the LADY are MAIL CALL . Word from the folks at home often delayed by long periods at sea is always eagerly awaited.

Effective distribution of mail took only a matter of an hour or two from the time it arrived, with the eager cooperation of yoemen and postal clerks. That doesn't look like a mail truck! Looks like everyone got some today This IS how our mail is sent while at sea. mell 133217 'I f l, 21.14 ,M .,.,... b ' i Lei l I' .

All hands turn to in order to keep the LADY looking her best
