Comments: I think I got my comments in the wrong "block" but, I would love to get in touch with Jim Alexander, my brother's friend on the St. Paul. I do not know what unit or division Paul Morgan was in, so, I am not much help. I would appreciate any info you are able to give me. I miss my brother very much and for this July 4th, I want to remember him and to say we live in the best country in the world...all because of our wonderfully brave military!! God bless.
Keywords: Paul Morgan from Tennesse was my brother. He was station on the St. Paul during 1956 to 1959. He passed away with cancer in 1984 and he was always trying to locate his best friend James (Jim) Alexander and was not able to locate him. I would like to do this for my brother Paul, in his memory. I went aboard the ship while it was in San Diego in 1959. Jim was from Galvaston, TX. Jim if you are out there, please contact me. "Smoke gets in your eyes"

Comments: Dad (Raymond E. Hines) was on the USS St. Paul, during the Korean War. He acquitted himself well as a sailor, and later worked for the Federal Aviation Agency and Naval Electronics Systems Engineering Center in Vallejo. Dad was a good provider and hard worker who could also enjoy life, who enjoyed a marriage of more than fifty years to Emily (my mom) before passing in 2001.
I wanted to honor his memory this Memorial Day weekend.

So, I have a 12 Aug. 50 - 21 May 51 cruise book to sell. It is in great condition and comes with some added photos and misc. items from a previous owner. I will part with it for what I paid: $60.00. I am also in the market fo a 3rd-cruise book 53-54. If anyone knew Ed Meyer (eddie), I am sorry to say his new address is the Golden Gate National Cemetary. He past away in 94. Email me if you are interested in the cruise book, have the one I want, or just want to hear about what Ed ended up doing after the war (If you were his friend). Email is Tmeyer63@att.net
