Hi Greg

I sent you two things. the one wth the twentyth reunion has our ships logo.We had that one painted on our signal bridge the other one was put on after the war ended.

Note the bandage on the tail that was to show that we had been damaged.

Hope you find them interesting.

Let me know when you get them.I sent them the 19 of Nov.
