Looking For Memories Of My Father

Comments: I have several artifacts from The Piedmont when my father served - a small ashtray and a very heavy ship plaque cast iron mounted on wood with Doc on it carrying a ruck sac and holding a torch. I believe he provided legal services for the sailors aboard ship. I would like some details or even photos if anyone has them or remembers serving with him. Sadly he passed away in 1995.

I'm secretly trying to find out if anyone remembers him or has a story to share about him. He was a dentist who played on the basketball team. He is now in the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease and I'd like to put together a book of things for him to look at and remember in the later stages. Please email me if you think you might remember him.
