Tin Can Sailors Article

The Tin Can Sailor newspaper carries the USS. Lynde McCormick as its cover story. It is complete with a good photo of the ship underway.

The accompanying article was composed by Robert O. Wefald. He served his three years of active duty from 65 to 67 as one of the ship's officers. In January of 91, he was elected as a District Court Judge of North Dakota. He retired from the Naval Reserve in October of that year, with the rank of Captain. His address is P.O. Box 1, Bismarck ND 58502-0001. He is also on the Ship's Roster at the web site.

In the article, he relates a forgiven error he made as the OOD. Some of us remember it as an in port fire drill. He also mentioned Jim Kiner FT2. That bought back some good memories for me.

If anyone is interested in contacting The Tin Can Sailors organization www.destroyers.org , their address is P.O. Box 100, Somerset MA 02726. The article and photo appeared in the Vol. 24, No. 3 issue for July, August, September 2000.
 

Thank you Honorable Robert Wefald!
