Hi Y'All,

Just thought I'd pass on this "peekchur" of one of your former shipmates!

The gent in the Attached image is Marvin Koon, former QM3(SS), USS Diodon (SS-349), 1959-62.

He and Bill "Stretch" Osberg, former FTG2(SS), USS Segundo (SS-398), 1962-66, had been observing the scrapping of the USS Menhaden (SS-377) in Everett, Washington, in 1988. Bill sent me some photos several weeks ago, so I scanned them and put them on my Web Site. Check out these two Pages:

My USS Menhaden (SS-377) Web Site, with Pages for the USS Darter (SS-227) and the USS Dace (SS-247), is at:
