Florikan was good duty.

This is the last time we can help to finally contact our buddies we served with.I joined and sure have enjoyed the service and HOPE we all can keep it going with a donation for all the HARD work.

Comments: I have a scrapbook belonging to Frank James Drymon who served on the USS Florikan around 1951 to ? I have done some research and believe he passed away in 1974 at the age of 43. He was possibly engaged to a 'Nelda Mott (Bootz)' from South Carolina. I would like to give the scapbook (which has many Florikan crew and ship photos) to a relative or survivor of his, or to a group of Florikan vets.
I acquired this book a few years back in a box of old books left by the side of the road.
Thank you and please contact me if you have any info.

Comments: Terry Eugene Wilkins and Freddie Lee Buffington were stationed on this ship together during the Vietnam War. I was raised by Fred but as I am told and pictures of Terry have confirmed, Terry is my father. I would very much like to know where he is and maybe meet him some day. I am 30 now and would like him to see his grandchildren. If you have any information about where Terry Eugene Wilkins might be today or if you are Terry, please contact me. Thanks, Tammy
