<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Thank you for sending this
along! I am one of those farm boys who walked the decks of the
Semmes. The writing is beautiful.<br>
<br>
I'd enjoy hearing from any shipmates -- I was aboard from February 1974 'til
January of 1977. I'm particularly trying to contact Tom Williams, who
served on the Semmes from sometime in 1973 until late 1976. He was also
an IC electrician, came from West Chester, PA, and was in my wedding party in
1976.<br>
<br>
I wish you fair skies and a calm sea -- <br>
