James thanks so much for all your work, thought I would never find
a sight for Diodon. Time on Diodon was
great, will have to think about stories and pictures for later.
I think you have my picture with Don Remily, EN-3 with glasses in center.

Hi Jim, Don't know if you remember me. I think I remember you.
 Would like to see a photo. I have another picture
of the boat that I can share. One of those they took to sell to the crew.
 Cliff Todd lives near by and we stay in touch.

Glad to see someone made a site for Diodon. Perhaps a reunion someday.
Was in Manitowoc a few weeks ago and spent some time on the
