Comments on: Only Read if You Are Over 50 http://mylafirecu.org/2009/03/06/only-read-if-you-are-over-50/ The LAFCU Blog Tue, 20 Dec 2011 08:38:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: William Lee http://mylafirecu.org/2009/03/06/only-read-if-you-are-over-50/#comment-78 William Lee Wed, 29 Jul 2009 22:35:52 +0000 http://mylafirecu.org/?p=158#comment-78 Gordon, I was on the Scorpion from 64-67 and would like to have you give my email address to the person in your class whose brother was on the Scorpion. I do a web page to honor all 99 of them plus the crew like myself who served on the ship. It is at http://www.decklog.com/SSN-589.asp I also do a submarine memorials map of all submarine memorials around the country. It can be seen by going to http://lockwoodbase.com/home.asp ( a chapter of USSVI that I am base commander of) and clicking on the next to bottom button sub memorials. Then when a map of the United States comes up, you can see all of them by clicking on each state or to see just the ones for the Scorpion, go to the left and click on custom search, when the next page comes up, put in 589 where it says hull number (top line) and then it will take you to around 20 places around the country of memorials for the USS Scorpion and also where memorial stones for some of our shipmates are located. I would like to be able to talk with the brother of the crewmember so that I can see if he can locate for me a memorial stone for his brother so I can put it up on the map. Let him have the urls also of course. Thanks for your blog. I enjoyed reading it. Steve Johnson and I have been good friends for many years. All three books that came out about what happened are valuable in that they all had interviews with family memmbers. There stories got out and they got some recognition for what they went through. What really happened, we will probably never know.

I appreciate your gentle expression to families who have lost loved ones in the 'events of life' that as you said is a 'defining' event in their life. Thank you for taking me back to this time in our history. I was 33 at the time. It takes a lot of thinking to remember. Thank you again.
