THANK YOU SEEMS SO INSUFFICIENT - BUT I THANK ALL OF OUR VETERANS
FOR YOUR SELFLESS SERVICE FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

S/ SHERRY GUTTERY

SHERRY, THANK YOU FOR BEING BEHIND RANDY AS HE HELPED KEEP THE BOATS
OPERATIONAL. THE TENDERS MADE SERIOUS REPAIRS EASY. THE GRANT LOST
A STEAMCHEST THROTTLE BODY WHILE ON PATROL, MAKING FULL TACTICAL AC
POWER UNAVAILABLE. WE DID NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF WELDING THE
CRACKED CASTING, BUT THE BEST MACHINEST MATE TRIED. THE TENDER "GOT
'ER DONE!" (AFTER WE GOT BACK).

ED NOTE: RANDY LEFT THIS WORLD HIS WEBSITE, WWW.TENDERTALE.COM, AS A
LEGACY COMMEMORATING THE NAVY'S SUBMARINE TENDERS WHICH SO ABLY
SUPPORTED THE U.S. SUBMARINE FLEET FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS.

THEY ARE NO MORE AS WE WHO VENTURED FORTH ON SUBS KNEW THEM. A SAD LOSS!!

S/ G. HUTCHISON - ET1(SS) USS ASPRO, AGSS-309, AND
USS ULYSSES S. GRANT, SSBN-631 (BLUE CREW-4 PATROLS).

-------------------------------------------------------

PAUL D. WILLS - I SEND MY THANKS TO EVERYONE ON THE LIST!
