Comments: My dad was in the Korean war. He has a lot of pictures during those times. Just curious to see if anyone might have remembered him. He was on the Algol and another one I can' t remember. He's still alive.

Comments: A few years back I was able to visit with Art Nelson and rehashed old times. Missed the reunions. Have been unable to get ahold of Art in the last several months. Last conversation with Art, we were trying to find if Lou Albi (LT.) or Willard S. (hogleg) Irving were still around. Also, when I last met with Art, he informed my that my Chief, "Smitty" had passed on, but I did have a chance to corresponed with Smitty's wife.

Keywords: Served on Algol 1951-1952. Started as Salvage boat Officer, left as Boat Group Cmdr. Transfered to Task Force 90 on the Mt. McKinley (AGC) just before Algol headed back to San Diego.

Comments: Tough times, eh? Evacuating the wounded, dropping
our guys on the beach, women shell diving in
freezing weather, laying offshore while cities
burned. Memorable days. When is the reunion?
I hope to be there.

Comments: I was on the USS ALGOL AKA54 during WW2 and the USS PARICUTIN AE18 during the Korean war. Both were good ships with great crews. The Algol 2000 reunion in San Antonio was great. The 20001 reunion in Seattle promises to be as good or better.
