I've cleaned the rails around the racks (haven't we Bob?), I've seen the rails on the main deck, and through some of the passageways, but I'm ashamed to say that I really never paid attention to them as I walked through the ship. I think you can be assured that the next time I'm in Evansville, I'm going to pay particular attention to the overhead areas...
and I continue to learn... thanks Bob!
I remember talking to the cook on Dad's LST and to Joe Sadlier talking about how he had soup jump out of the pot... (did you ever have this happen, Joe Lewin or Ernie Andrus?) and at other times they had the galley decorated with green jello accents. Then there were times, he said, when all that could be done was keeping the coffee pot going and sandwiches for those who could manage them. |
