<DIV><FONT size=2>Crew,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>It is that time of year when we turn to family and friends,
and of course our shipmates and wish them well now and all year
long.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If you have not visited the USS Semmes web site recently and
in particular the photo album, you are missing out on the memories one of our
shipmates has been sharing with all the crew. Many photos from 1964,1965,
and 1966 have been sent in and are posted on the site.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If you have photos you would like to submit please
consider sharing them with all the crew.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>To submit photos, give each picture a file name that
gives the date of when the photo was taken, and then send them via email
to Tom Ringate <A
href="mailto:tringate@tampabay.rr.com">tringate@tampabay.rr.com</A> an
example is:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1975-09-12_liberty in Charleston.jpg</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>All the photos are placed into an album by year, so the
estimated exact year is critical. Once a photo has been added, I am not
able to move it to a different album. The only thing I can do is delete it
and then put it back into the new album which turns out to be a lot of
work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If some of you would like to assist in adding captions to
photos on the Semmes web site, send me a self chosen user ID and password that
you will be able to use to access the photo album on the web site. You
will have edit capability for all photos so you can add a caption, or
comment to any photo on the site.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Happy Holidays to everyone, and a good New Year.</FONT></DIV>
