Morris Kanefsky, SK2 1959-1960; passed July 2001.
I distinctly remember Shipmate Menard as we used to "hang out" together on liberty. And, he used to let me us the signal lights communicating between ships. We used to call him "Alfred E. Neuman" after the character in Mad Comics.
The severe drought continues here in East Texas. We have lost over 75% of our beautiful dogwood trees and many oak trees have died also. And, no relief in sight. I have not done much on the photograph web site as it seems that Lillie and I spend most of our time either at the hospital or at the doctors office. I really don't like getting old!
All for now. Please contact me at cmbaltairaks32@fastmail.us with any comments or questions.
Best Regards to All . . . . Charles
