Note from Sandy E.
Tony lost all of his pictures from his Navy days in a home fire. I gathered up some pictures and sent them to him to help replace just a few of what he had lost. It was Tony's wish that all of his pictures be displayed in the Tri-C Community Museum in Clyde, MO. where he grew up in the Stanberry/Clyde MO. area.

I entered the service as a single man at the age of 19 and went to Boot Camp at the Naval Training Station in Farragut, ID. in April of 1943. I was in Company 211.

I boarded the USS SLC CA25 in Aug. of 1943 and served on her until Jan. of 1946. I was in the "L" Division.... also called "Lookout" & "Love" Division.

I remember SLC Veterans
Lester J. Workman, F1c Lloyd A. Morgan, MM3c as well as Frank Bell, Jr., SSML3c.

I retired from Boeing Aircraft in Wichita, KS. after 37 years and now live in Maryville, MO.
