First, I must say that the efforts made through the years by you have enabled me to connect with my Dad in a special way.? Many people undertake an endeavor such as you have;? however, few have the dedication required to sustain it as you have done.

I am very lucky to have had my Dad assigned to such a great ship, with such an extremely able crew, which sustained him throughout the war and made it possible for him to have a family after the war.

Sincerely, Stephen M Bernard
