DAN HENSON wrote on November 15, 2010 CITY AND STATE: NEWMAN LAKE WA UNIT: USS WEISS, APD-135 SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: NAVY VETERAN Comments: I was aboard the USS Weiss from mid-year 1965 until mid-year 1968, continuously for those 3 years. I was an E-5, or 2nd class Electrician and also the Engineering Log Room Yeoman. I have a great memory for the men I served with. Also, I graduated college after my service with very high honors. I don't recognize one name on your list during that time period, although I remember many of the 135 men and officers who served during that time on the 330' Weiss. Keywords:
