USS Wexford County
Crew Members

"A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly:
and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." 
Proverbs 18:24

There have been several crew members who have written to me during the time that these USS Wexford County pages have been on the net.  

I have listed all of those who have contacted me; and if they have already given me permission to list their email addresses, you can click on their names and drop them an email note.  If your name is on the list and you would like to give permission to list your email address, please let me know.  Also, if your name is not on the list and you would like it to be, please send me an email message saying so.  I will be more than happy to add it.   I sometimes forget to check out my guestbook, so please don't use that means to send me your information.

join.  The dues are $18.00 per year, which entitles you to receive a membership card, a 
decal, and a bi-monthly newsletter, called the Scuttlebutt.  It is actually more like a newspaper
as Sandy Gaston sent us a couple of them and they were 60+ pages long, all filled
with interesting articles about LST's.  Click HERE to find out more about the association
and then help to keep the history of LST's alive by becoming a member today!!!  

Please take the time to check out this site!!!

If you are interested, there is a site by the name of Hullnumber.com that you can
 register in to have information about yourself listed on the net.  Check it out!!!
