[GreenKeys] 2016 VETERANS' ROLL

Thu May 26 23:48:37 EDT 2016

GreenKeyers - - -

Below is the most current Veterans' Roll we have.

Those of you new to GreenKeys who are Veterans of any United States 
Military Branch, Merchant Marine, 3-letter Government agencies and who 
have an interest in mechanical communications equipment such as teletype 
machines, cryptographic gear, railroad semaphores, etc., are welcome to 
become a part of this list.

The format is relatively obvious as you read through the information 
below, so please feel free to submit your information for posting on 
this list.

Please e-mail me at <w7tty at centurylink.net> and we'll get you on the 
list for transmission Monday on GreenKeys and on the ITTY and Greenwich
channels this coming Monday.

This year I think it would be rightful if we added a similar list for 
those of allied nations who have backgrounds similar to those described 
above who have served in some similar communications capacity for their 
country.

Please send all information to me at the e-mail address noted above and 
we'll do our best to include you.

Currently serving soldiers, sailors, marines, etc are always pleased if 
you walk up to them and say something like "Thanks for being there!"

I get a lot of smiles, handshakes, and Thank You's.

And last but not least, THANK YOU from me, Tom Tillson, Wayne 
LeTourneau, and the vast ITTY Editorial Staff.

73,

George, W7TTY - Sequim, WA..

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).
